The 2024 OFC Men's Nations Cup final was a football match to determine the winners of 2024 OFC Men's Nations Cup. The match was the tenth final of the OFC Nations Cup, a quadrennial tournament contested by the men's national teams of the member associations of Oceania Football Confederation to decide the champions of Oceania. The match was held at the VFF Freshwater Stadium in Port Vila, Vanuatu, on 30 June 2024 and was contested by the winners of the semi-finals.
The final was held at the VFF Freshwater Stadium in Port Vila, Vanuatu. In December 2023, OFC announced the 2024 tournament would be held in Vanuatu. The VFF Freshwater Stadium was chosen as the final venue of the tournament along with the Group B matches, and the semi-finals.
The VFF Freshwater Stadium opened in 2022 thanks to financing by FIFA. The stadium was owned by the Vanuatu Football Federation.
