The 2019 FIBA Under-17 Oceania Championship was an international under-17 basketball tournament that was held from 18 to 24 August 2019 in Nouméa, New Caledonia. The second U17 tournament held after being rechristened from U18 to U17 Oceania championships, this served as the direct qualifier for the 2020 FIBA U18 Asian Championship where 2 slots were allotted for FIBA Oceania, though the U18 Asian tournament was eventually cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Australia annexed their second straight U17 title, and seventh championship overall by defeating New Zealand in the Final, 85–56. Meanwhile, Samoa notched their first ever podium finish by winning the Bronze Medal match against Tahiti, 87–59.[1]
