It took place in [[New Zealand]] from [[17 February]] [[1973]]&ndash;[[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. ==Group table== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" |- ! !!Team!!P!!W!!D!!L!!GF!!GA!!Pts |- |1||style="text-align: left;"|{{fb|New Zealand}} |4||3||1||0||11||4||'''7''' |- |2||style="text-align: left;"|{{fb|Tahiti|1946}} |4||2||2||0||7||2||'''6''' |- |3||style="text-align: left;"|{{fb|New Caledonia}} |4||2||0||2||8||5||'''4''' |- |4||style="text-align: left;"|{{flagicon|France}}{{fb|New Hebrides|1953}} |4||1||1||2||4||8||'''3''' |- |5||style="text-align: left;"|{{fb|Fiji}} |4||0||0||4||2||13||'''0''' |} ==Match results== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" |- !Date !Home !Score !Away !style="width: 30%"|Goalscorers |- !colspan=5|Round robin |- |[[17 February]] |{{fb-big|Tahiti|1946}} |2-1 |{{fb-big|New Caledonia}} | Erroll Bennett (Tahiti), Alexis Tumahai (Tahiti), Roger Mandin (New Caledonia) |- |[[February 17]] |{{fb-big|New Zealand}} |5-1 |{{fb-big|Fiji}} |Brian Alfred Turner (New Zealand), David Taylor (New Zealand), Geoff C.
