The 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification for the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) selected New Zealand to compete in a two-legged home-and-away playoff against Bahrain, the fifth-place team from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for a spot in the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. (Oceania is the only confederation that does not have an automatic place in the finals.) Its final round that doubled with the qualifiers was the 2008 OFC Nations Cup. Consequently, New Zealand is also considered the OFC Nations Cup champion, entered the playoffs, and represented the OFC in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup.
This was the first OFC World Cup qualifying campaign since Australia's move from the OFC to the AFC.
