The 2025 Men's Junior Oceania Cup was the sixth edition of the Junior Oceania Cup for men. The event was held at Lloyd Elsmore Park in Auckland, New Zealand from 30 January to 2 February 2025.[1][2][3]

The tournament served as the Oceania qualifier for the 2025 FIH Junior World Cup to be held in India.[4][5] As the Oceania Hockey Federation receives three qualification quotas, the top three placed nations gained qualification to the FIH Junior World Cup.[5]

Australia won the tournament for the sixth consecutive time. They defeated New Zealand 3–2 in penalties after both teams were level on all tiebreakers at the conclusion of the test matches.
