The '''2007 OFC Champions League''' was the 6th edition of the Oceanian Club Championship, [[Oceania]]'s premier club [[association football|football]] tournament organized by the [[Oceania Football Confederation]] (OFC), and the 1st season under the current OFC Champions League name. Under the new format there was to be no qualifying round, and instead six teams from the six best [[Oceania Football Confederation|Oceanic]] nations would play each other home and away in a group stage before the knockout round. The tournament took place from 21 January until 29 April 2007.

[[Auckland City FC|Auckland City]] qualified as the reigning champions of the [[2006 OFC Club Championship|OFC Club Championship]]. The other 5 teams gained their qualifications due to their domestic league performances. Following the withdrawal of [[Vanuatu Football Federation|Vanuatu]]’s [[Port Vila Sharks]], the OFC awarded a second berth to [[Waitakere United]], the leader after the first phase of the [[New Zealand Football Championship]].

The winner of the tournament was [[Waitakere United|Waitakere Utd]] of [[New Zealand]], who beat [[Ba F.C.|Ba Electric]] of [[Fiji]] in the final, claiming Oceania's US$1 million (NZ$1.41 million) berth in the [[2007 FIFA Club World Cup]] in [[Japan]] the following December.
