The Oceania Athletics Regional Championships â comprising the Melanesian, Polynesian, and Micronesian Championships â are sub-regional track and field competitions organized by the Oceania Athletics Association (OAA). Often held in non-area championship years since the early 2000's, these events provide critical, high-level competition for elite and developing athletes from the three sub-regions of Oceania to gain international experience.
The Regional Championships are divided into three distinct sub-regionsâÂÂMelanesia, Micronesia, and PolynesiaâÂÂoften utilizing local infrastructure and culture to highlight the sport. The regions at the regional meetings decide the location for the Championships.
