The 2025 Women's Junior Oceania Cup was the seventh edition of the Junior Oceania Cup for women. The event was held at Lloyd Elsmore Park in Auckland, New Zealand from 30 January to 2 February 2025. For the first time since its inception, the tournament was due to comprise three national teams, meaning a round–robin format will be used. Prior to the tournament however, the Solomon Islands withdrew.

The tournament served as the Oceania qualifier for the 2025 FIH Junior World Cup to be held in Santiago, Chile. As the Oceania Hockey Federation receives three qualification quotas, both participating nations gained automatic qualification to the FIH Junior World Cup.

Australia won the tournament for the seventh consecutive time. They finished ahead of New Zealand on all tiebreakers at the conclusion of the test matches.
