The 2001 OFC Club Championship group stage ran from 9 to 18 January 2001. Twelve teams competed in the group stage to decide the four places in the knockout stage of the 2001 OFC Club Championship.[1] [2]

Format

In each group, teams played against each other in a round-robin format. The top two teams of each group advanced to the semi-finals.

Groups

Group A

----------------

Group B

----------------Note: The OFC disciplinary committee ruled that 7 of PanSa's 18 players were not registered according to international transfer rules, some of which had been fielded in their first two matches. The first two matches were thus awarded 2–0 to the opposition, whilst PanSa were unable to field a team in the 3rd match (which was not played, and subsequently awarded 2–0 to Tafea). PanSa then withdrew from the competition, causing their fourth match to be awarded 2–0 to Titavi.
