The 2014 OFC Champions League Final was the final of the 2013–14 OFC Champions League, the 13th edition of the Oceania Cup, Oceania's premier club football tournament organized by the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC), and the 8th season under the current OFC Champions League name.

The final was contested in two-legged home-and-away format between Amicale of Vanuatu and Auckland City of New Zealand. The first leg was hosted by Amicale at Port Vila Municipal Stadium in Port Vila on 10 May 2014, while the second leg was hosted by Auckland City at Kiwitea Street in Auckland on 18 May 2014.[1] The winner earned the right to represent the OFC at the 2014 FIFA Club World Cup, entering at the qualifying play-off round. Both finalists also earned invitations to participate in the 2014 OFC President's Cup.

The first leg ended in a 1–1 draw,[2] and Auckland City won the second leg 2–1,[3] giving them a record-setting sixth OFC club title.
