The 2022 OFC U-19 Championship was the 23rd edition of the OFC U-19/U-20 Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) for the men's under-19/under-20 national teams of Oceania.

The OFC announced on 4 March 2022 that the 2021 OFC U-20 Championship (originally the 2020 OFC U-19 Championship), which would have been hosted by Samoa, had been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Samoa would be retained to host the next edition in 2022.[1] On 4 June 2021, the OFC announced the tournament had been moved to August from July.[2]

The top two teams of the tournament qualified for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina as the OFC representatives. New Zealand the defending champions, won the title for the eighth time, and qualified together with runners-up Fiji.
