Venues
The tournament was originally planned to be played at one venue, in the city of Auckland, the renovated football stadium Centre Park. However, due to wet conditions both semi-final matches, the third-place match, and the OFC final were moved to North Harbour Stadium.
Group stage
The official draw was held at OFC headquarters in the presence of OFC Technical Director Patrick Jacquemet, OFC Head of Competitions David Firisua and other OFC staff, on 30 March 2011. The top two teams from each group (one group has 4 teams, other has 3) qualify for the semi-finals, with group winners playing other group runners-up.
