The OFC decided to change the format once again for the 2014 edition:
The competition consisted of two stages – preliminary stage and final stage.
For the preliminary stage, like in the previous season, four teams from the four weakest associations took part in this stage, with the tournament played in round-robin format at a single venue. From this season, the preliminary stage winner was granted direct qualification to the [|group stage].
For the group stage, 12 teams took part in this stage, and more importantly, it was played in a single country. Four associations were awarded two berths each, three associations were awarded one berth each, and one berth was given to the preliminary stage winner. The 12 teams were divided into three groups of four teams, where each group was played in round-robin format, with the group winners and the best runner-up progressing to the [|semi-finals].
For the semi-finals, like in the previous season, the two ties were played in home-and-away format over two legs.
For the final, the OFC Executive Committee decided that it was played in home-and-away format over two legs, instead of over one match at a pre-determined venue like in the previous season.
Teams
A total of 15 teams from all 11 OFC associations entered the competition. The four associations with the best results in the 2012–13 OFC Champions League were awarded two berths each, and three other associations were awarded one berth each. Those teams directly entered the group stage, to be joined by the winner of the preliminary stage, which was contested by teams from the four developing associations.
