The '''Oceania Club Championship''' is organised by the [[Oceania Football Confederation]] to ascertain the champions of [[Oceania]]. The 2006 event was held in [[Albany, New Zealand]] and was the final playing of the tournament before being replaced by the [[OFC Champions League]]. The tournament was held from 10-21 May, 2006. The winner of the tournament qualifies for a place in the [[FIFA Club World Championship#2006 tournament|2006 FIFA Club World Cup]].
==Club World Cup qualification confusion==
After some deliberation and mind-changing on FIFA's part, the winner of this tournament has earned a direct place in the [[FIFA Club World Championship#2006 tournament|2006 FIFA Club World Cup]], although this wasn't always going to be the case. In March 2006 it was reported that, due to the restructuring of football in the [[Oceania]] region (i.e. [[Australia]] leaving to become part of the [[Asian Football Confederation]]), the [[Oceania]] champions would have to play a Preliminary match against the [[J. League]] champions for a place in the main competition. [http://www.oceaniafootball.com/index.cgi?det=1&intArticleID=1901&sID=12].
However, later that month, it was announced that [[FIFA]] president [[Sepp Blatter]] had been unable to get the necessary support for the new format and as a result [[Oceania]] will retain direct entry to [[FIFA Club World Championship#2006 tournament|2006 FIFA Club World Cup]]. [[FIFA]] reviewed the format the following year.[http://www.nzherald.co.nz/category/story.cfm?c_id=86&ObjectID=10375292].
