The 2024 OFC Champions League Final was the final match of the 2024 OFC Champions League, the 23rd edition of the Oceanian Club Championship, Oceania's premier club football tournament organized by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC), and the 18th season under the current OFC Champions League name.

The final was a single match between New Zealand's Auckland City and Tahiti's Pirae. The match took place at Stade Pater in Pirae on 24 May 2024.[3][4][5][6]

Defending champions Auckland City FC defeated Tahitian Pirae 4–0 to win a record-extending twelfth title and their third in a row. Auckland City earned the right to play at the inaugural 2024 FIFA Intercontinental Cup, taking place in December 2024.[7]
