The 1998 OFC Nations Cup Final was an association football match that took place on the 4 September 1998 at Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane. It was the final of the 1998 OFC Nations Cup which was the fourth edition of the OFC Nations Cup, a competition for national teams in the Oceania Football Confederation.
It was contested between hosts Australia and New Zealand. It was Australia's third final appearance with the team winning the last two OFC Nations Cup in 1980 and 1996.[1] For New Zealand, it was their second appearance in a final appearance after winning the 1973.[1] In the group stage, both Australia and New Zealand finished top of their groups with six points with the semi-finals seeing New Zealand defeat Fiji 1–0 while Australia defeated Tahiti 4–1.[2]
Mark Burton scored the game's only goal in the 24th minute to give New Zealand a 1-0 win and their second Nations Cup title. This meant that New Zealand won the right to play in the 1999 FIFA Confederations Cup (held in Mexico) as the representative from the OFC.[3]
