The tournament was originally scheduled to be held between 11–26 September 2021.[3] However, the OFC announced on 4 March 2021 that it had been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, pending FIFA’s confirmation of dates of the 2022 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.[4] On 4 June 2021, the OFC announced that the tournament had been rescheduled to June 2022, with the name of the tournament changed from "2021 OFC U-16 Women's Championship" to "2022 OFC U-17 Women's Championship".[5]
