The 2019 OFC Futsal Nations Cup was the 12th edition of the OFC Futsal Nations Cup (previously called the OFC Futsal Championship), the international futsal championship organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) for the men's national teams of Oceania.

In November 2018, it was announced that New Caledonia would host the competition.[1] The tournament was held from 27 October to 2 November.[2]

The winner qualified as the OFC representative at the 2021 FIFA Futsal World Cup (originally 2020 but postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic) in Lithuania.[3][4]

Solomon Islands were the defending champions, and successfully defended their title after defeating New Zealand in the final.

5th–8th place play-offs

Tonga was not allowed to play the 5th-8th place play-offs because many players were diagnosed with measles.[8] It is important to remember that this tournament was held during a measles outbreak.
