Group stage

The official draw was held at OFC headquarters in the presence of OFC Technical Director Patrick Jacquemet, OFC Head of Competitions David Firisua and other OFC staff, on 30 March 2011. The top two teams from each group (one group has 4 teams, other has 3) qualify for the semi-finals, with group winners playing other group runners-up.
