The Oceania Rugby Under 20 Championship is an international rugby union competition for men's junior national teams with an under-20 age requirement, organised by Oceania Rugby, the regional governing body for the sport in Oceania. It is played as two tournaments: the Oceania Championship, for teams that qualify for the World Rugby Under 20 Championship, and the Oceania Trophy, for teams aiming to compete in the World Rugby Under 20 Trophy. The event replaced Oceania's former age-grade competition, the Oceania Under 19 Rugby Championship. The first division tournament was played at Bond University on the Gold Coast of Australia in May 2015 with four national under 20 teams and was won by New Zealand, while the first Oceania Rugby U20 Trophy was played in Suva in December 2015 and won by Fiji.
