The 2024 Oceania Rugby Women's Championship is the tournament's sixth edition and will be held in Brisbane, Queensland from 24 May to 2 June. The winner qualifies directly for the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup and for the 2024 WXV 3, whereas the runner-up qualifies only for WXV 3.
The second match of the opening day between Samoa and Papua New Guinea was cancelled due to unforeseen travel issues that prevented Papua New Guinea from arriving on time.
