The 2021 Oceania Weightlifting Championships were contested from 24 to 26 September 2021.[1]

The enduring impact of COVID-19 (which required cancellation of the 2020 championships, otherwise set to be held in Nauru[2]) led to the competition being held in various venues across Oceania with competitors and officials linked by video, as opposed to a single competition venue.[3][4] It was the first time results in a virtual competition were officially endorsed by the International Weightlifting Federation.[5]
