Teams
=Qualification=
Starting from this edition, a four-team qualifying stage was introduced for the competition. The four lowest-ranked teams – Vanuatu, who finished eighth in the last edition, and the three teams that missed the previous tournament – were originally set to compete in a single-group tournament. However, Vanuatu did not enter, leaving just three teams. In June 2024, Samoa won the three-team qualifying group and secured a spot in the tournament.{{cite web |title=Samoa comfortably qualify for OFC Women's U-16 Championship|url=https://www.oceaniafootball.com/samoa-comfortably-qualify-for-ofc-womens-u-16-championship/|date=20 June 2024|website=oceaniafootball.com|publisher=OFC|access-date=14 September 2024}}
