The Oceanic zone qualifying zone process is a bit complicated.
First, 10 teams play in two groups on a league basis.
The winners and runners-up of each group (i.e. 4 teams), plus Australia and New Zealand, then play each other, again on a league basis.
The winner and runner-up of this stage move onto a third stage in which the two teams play each other home and away.
The winner then plays off against the fifth-placed team from South America.
