{{Main|Football at the 2015 Pacific Games}}

The 2015 Pacific Games women's football tournament was the fourth edition of the Pacific Games women's football tournament. The women's football tournament was held in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea between 6–16 July 2015 as part of the 2015 Pacific Games. The tournament was open to full women's national teams (unlike the men's tournament, which was age-restricted).

The tournament also doubled as the first stage of the fourth edition of the OFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, the quadrennial international tournament organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) to determine which women's national teams from Oceania qualify for the Olympic football tournament.{{cite web|url=http://www.oceaniafootball.com/ofc/News/ViewArticle/tabid/125/Article/701d2613-f23f-4125-ae92-0700e8ec8787/language/en-US/Default.aspx|title=OFC Executive Committee decisions|publisher=Oceania Football Confederation|date=April 23, 2014|access-date=March 11, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160913211633/http://www.oceaniafootball.com/ofc/News/ViewArticle/tabid/125/Article/701d2613-f23f-4125-ae92-0700e8ec8787/language/en-US/Default.aspx|archive-date=September 13, 2016|url-status=dead}}{{cite web|url=http://issuu.com/ofcfootball/docs/ofc_insider_issue_6/8?e=13529326/11799242|title=OFC Insider Issue 6|publisher=Oceania Football Confederation|date=March 11, 2015|page=8}} The highest-ranked team of this competition who is a member of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) advanced to the second stage against New Zealand, where the winner qualifies for the 2016 Summer Olympics women's football tournament.{{cite web|title=QUALIFICATION SYSTEM – GAMES OF THE XXXI OLYMPIAD – RIO 2016 – Football |url=http://www.rio2016.com/sites/default/files/users/rio2016_files/fifa-football-en_0.pdf |format=pdf |publisher=Rio 2016 Official Website |access-date=22 January 2015 |date=23 April 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150906102243/http://www.rio2016.com/sites/default/files/users/rio2016_files/fifa-football-en_0.pdf |archive-date= 6 September 2015 }}
