On August 2, 2005, nine of the thirteen member nations of Oceania’s National Olympic Committees and ISF Members met at the Palasia Hotel in Palau to establish the Oceania Softball Confederation. This is comprised of ISF organizations in the northern and southern hemispheres. Confederation members approved a constitution and elected officers and committee members to their executive board.
