2011 Rugby World Cup – Oceania qualification

There will be one qualifier for Rugby World Cup 2011 from the Oceania region. The qualifying process will begin with the 2009 Oceania Nations Cup, with the winner going on to play Samoa.

The first stage will be the four team Oceania Nations Cup. The Cup will be played as a straight knock-out. The winner then will advance to the final qualifier against Samoa, a two legged playoff to decide the Oceania Qualifier who will face South Africa, Wales, Fiji, and the African qualifier (Namibia) in Pool D

Oceania is the only region not to send a team to the 20th place playoff.
