The ball's design was inspired by the unique Australasian landscape, with white, black, blue and yellow colors representing the vast mountains of New Zealand and Australia's connection to the Pacific Ocean. The name "Oceaunz" combines the prefixes "AU" and "NZ" of the two host nations.The Australian patterns on the ball were created by renowned local artist Chern'ee Sutton, while the markings representing New Zealand were designed by Kiwi artist Fiona Collis.
The Oceaunz is made of thermally-bonded 12-panel synthetic leather, providing a consistent and stable surface for optimal control and accuracy.
