The Oceania Para Athletics Championships is an event organized by Oceania Athletics and the Oceania Paralympic Committee (OPC) for athletes with disabilities from the Oceania region.[1][2] Sanctioned by the OPC, the event adheres to the rules and regulations set forth by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and World Para Athletics.[2]
History
Historically, para events were offered as exhibition events as part of the Oceania Athletics Championships (for senior able-bodied athletes) from 2014 to 2019. Since 2020, the impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the cancellation of the Area Championships in 2021 and the World Para Athletics Championships in 2022. This saw limited International Competition for Para Athletes throughout Oceania. Hence, in March 2022, the need for quality competition for the Oceania para-athletes was recognised by both OAA and the OPC, which culminated the inaugural Para Championships in 2022.[3]
