The 2015 OFC U-20 Women's Championship was the 7th edition of the OFC U-20 Women's Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) for the women's under-20 national teams of Oceania. The tournament was held in Tonga between 1–10 October 2015. The tournament was originally scheduled to be held between 16–30 January 2016.

Same as previous editions, the tournament acted as the OFC qualifiers for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. The winner of the tournament qualified for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Papua New Guinea as the OFC representative, besides Papua New Guinea who qualified automatically as hosts.

New Zealand were confirmed as champions for the fifth consecutive time on 8 October 2015, sealing their qualification to the World Cup.

A total of five OFC member national teams entered the tournament.

The matches were played at the Loto-Tonga Soka Centre in Nuku'alofa.

Players born on or after 1 January 1996 were eligible to compete in the tournament.

The tournament was played in round-robin format. There were two matches on each matchday, with one team having a bye. The draw for the fixtures was held on 2 September 2015 at the OFC Headquarters in Auckland, New Zealand.

All times were local, TOT (UTC+13).
