The qualifying round was contested by teams from the three lowest ranked nations in Oceania and Vanuatu, who lost their automatic qualification place due to the withdrawal of their representative in the previous year's competition.
The winner of the tournament was Waitakere Utd of New Zealand, who reclaimed their title by beating Kossa FC of the Solomon Islands in the two legged final. The winners claimed Oceania's US$1 million (NZ$1.41 million) berth in the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.
