The '''Oceania Cup 1973''' was the first [[Oceania Football Confederation|Oceania]]-wide tournament ever held. It took place in [[New Zealand]] from [[17 February]] [[1973]]–[[24 February]] [[1973]]. All matches were held at Newmarket Park, in [[Auckland]], and five teams participated: [[New Zealand national football team|New Zealand]], [[New Caledonia national football team|New Caledonia]], [[Tahiti national football team|Tahiti]], [[Vanuatu national football team|New Hebrides]] (now known as [[Vanuatu]]) and [[Fiji national football team|Fiji]].
At the time, the [[Oceania Football Confederation]] was not considered a full [[FIFA]] Confederation, and as such allowed national teams unaffiliated with [[FIFA]] to enter.
The teams played each other according to a [[Round-robin tournament|round-robin format]], and the top two teams ([[New Zealand national football team|New Zealand]] and [[Tahiti national football team|Tahiti]]) played off in a final to determine the winner. [[New Caledonia national football team|New Caledonia]] and [[Vanuatu national football team|New Hebrides]] also played each other, on the same day as the final, to determine third place.
[[New Zealand national football team|New Zealand]] won the tournament with a 2-0 victory in the final, while [[New Caledonia national football team|New Caledonia]] retained third place by defeating [[Vanuatu national football team|New Hebrides]] 2-1.
