The 2026 Oceania Athletics Championships is the flagship regional competition for track and field athletes across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific islands, held in Darwin. The championships cover the full range of Olympic athletics disciplines — sprints, hurdles, middle and long distance, jumps, throws, and combined events — and provide the primary qualifying benchmark for Oceanian athletes targeting global competition.

Darwin has hosted major athletics events before and the May timing sits neatly in the Northern Territory's dry season, offering consistent competition conditions. Athletes from smaller Pacific nations use the championship as their highest-profile regional platform, while Australian and New Zealand squads treat it as a key tune-up before the European summer circuit. The Oceania Athletics Association governs the technical programme.
