Format
[edit]The four teams in each group played each other on a round-robin basis at two centralised venues in Tahiti.[1] The winners and runners-up of each group advanced to the semi-finals of the knockout stage.
Schedule
[edit]Originally, each group was scheduled to host their matchdays on the same day, however flight cancellations for Ifira Black Bird meant the schedule was changed twice to accommodate all their matches.[2][6] The final schedule for each matchday is shown below:[7]
