The Atlantian Oceania Confederation of Association Football Cup, more commonly known as the AOCAF Cup or simply AOCAF, is played amongst the nations of the region of Atlantian Oceania, often in tandem with the World Cup. It is widely considered the premier regional football tournament in NationStates, having some of the best teams from the World Cup competing for bragging rights within the region.
At the present time, AOCAF Cup 38, hosted by Farfadillis, has just finished with Audioslavia lifting the trophy.

- Bazalonia and Krytenia have been the most frequent hosts of the tournament, having both done so four times.
Rankings
The AOCAF has its own set of rankings separate from the KPB Rankings. This is so traditionally strong footballing powers who have recently moved to AO cannot automatically overrun nations who compete regularly and often in the AOCAF but not in the World Cup.
