The 2015 OFC U-20 Women's Championship was the 7th edition of the OFC U-20 Women's Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) for the women's under-20 national teams of Oceania. The tournament was held in Tonga between 1–10 October 2015.[1] The tournament was originally scheduled to be held between 16–30 January 2016.[2]

Same as previous editions, the tournament acted as the OFC qualifiers for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. The winner of the tournament qualified for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Papua New Guinea as the OFC representative, besides Papua New Guinea who qualified automatically as hosts.[3]

New Zealand were confirmed as champions for the fifth consecutive time on 8 October 2015, sealing their qualification to the World Cup.[4]
