The 2019 Women's Oceania Handball Challenge Trophy was held in New Caledonia from 11 to 16 August 2019.[1][2][3]

The competition participants were defending champions New Zealand, host New Caledonia, regulars Australia and America Samoa. New to the championship were Papua New Guinea, and Fiji.[4]

Hosts New Caledonia were the clear winners over Australia. Third was New Zealand then America Samoa.[5] Fifth was Papua New Guinea ahead of Fiji on goal difference[6]

However, New Caledonia are ineligible for World Championship and consequently, spot for 2020 Women's Junior World Handball Championship is taken by second place Australia.
