History
It has been held since 1994 and is organised by the Oceania Billiards & Snooker Federation (OBSF).[1]
The tournament features players from Australia, New Zealand and other Pacific nations. In recent years, the winner has typically received a nomination for a place on the professional main tour, although not all champions have taken up the opportunity.[1]
