The 2014 OFC President's Cup was the first edition of the OFC President's Cup, a competition organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) between invitational club and/or national sides. A decision to create this competition was confirmed at the OFC's executive committee in March 2014.[1][2] The inaugural competition took place in Auckland, New Zealand between 17 and 23 November 2014,[3][4] with Auckland City defeating Amicale in the final to win the 2014 President's Cup.[5]
A total of six teams participated in the tournament: the reigning OFC Champions League winners and runners-up, two teams from the Asian Football Confederation and one team from Concacaf.[1][2]
The competition was played in two groups of three teams with the top team in each group advancing to the final, and the remaining teams advancing to the third and fifth place matches.[4]
