Oceania sport will come together in Auckland from 17 to 23 May 2026 for a week of forums, decisions, and shared vision ahead of Los Angeles 2028 and Brisbane 2032.
Auckland, New Zealand will welcome the Oceania sporting family from 17 to 23 May 2026 for the XLVI Annual General Assembly Week of the Oceania National Olympic Committees (ONOC). The week-long convening will bring together National Olympic Committees, athletes, partners, and stakeholders shaping the future of sport in the Pacific.
ONOC President Baklai Temengil-Chilton has extended a warm Pacific welcome to members, partners, athletes, and friends of Oceania sport, confirming the dates and programme for what she described as a defining moment for the region.
"On behalf of the Oceania National Olympic Committees, I am delighted to invite our Oceania family, partners, athletes, and stakeholders to the 2026 ONOC Annual General Assembly Week in beautiful Auckland, New Zealand," President Temengil-Chilton said.
"This year's AGA Week is more than a meeting. It is a coming together of Oceania sport, united by our shared values, our shared future, and our shared Pacific identity."
Across seven days, ONOC will host a series of major forums and engagements designed to align the region around the next Olympic cycle and beyond. The programme includes the LA28 Pre-Games Preparation Forum, the ONOC Workshop, the Oceania Athletes' Forum, governance consultations, partnership discussions, and the ONOC Annual General Assembly itself.
A key feature of the week will be the visit of International Olympic Committee President Kirsty Coventry to the ONOC Annual General Assembly, underscoring the IOC's continued engagement with the Pacific region and its national Olympic committees.
Companion sessions across the week include the Commonwealth Sport Regional Forum, the Oceania Paralympic Committee Forum and Board Meeting, the ORADO Workshop and Annual General Meeting, the ONOC Medical Commission Meeting, and the Oceania Impact Network Meeting, which will feature the screening of the Breaking Ground film and the launch of the Olympism365 and UN Women Toolkit for a Sports Ecosystem with a Gender Perspective.
"These conversations will help shape the future of sport in Oceania as we look ahead to Los Angeles 2028, Brisbane 2032, and beyond," President Temengil-Chilton said.
AGA Week 2026 also marks a public expression of the ONOC Reset, the organisation's regional commitment to strengthening governance, empowering athletes, supporting National Olympic Committees, and building a stronger, more united Oceania sporting movement.
"Together, we are creating pathways for our young people, stronger partnerships for our region, and greater opportunities for every Pacific athlete to thrive on the world stage," President Temengil-Chilton said.
The 2026 ONOC Annual General Assembly Week will be hosted by the New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) and will run from 17 to 23 May 2026 in Auckland, New Zealand. The Annual General Assembly itself will be held on Thursday 21 May 2026.
