The All Whites have beaten Vanuatu 3-0 to claim a record sixth consecutive OFC Nations Cup.

The New Zealanders opened the scoring inside the opening two minutes and never looked back, closing out the competition in fitting fashion at Port Vila.

The result caps a dominant campaign for the Kiwis, who didn't concede a goal in any of their four matches, while scoring 14 of their own.

Cameron Howieson continued the trend of early goals for the Kiwis, firing home a brilliant volley off a rebound to silence the vocal home crowd.

The hosts held strong until the 84th minute, when Jesse Randal doubled New Zealand's advantage with a clinical finish on the end of a counterattack sparked by Ben Old.

Substitute Max Mata laid the icing on the cake for the Kiwis in the 91st minute, converting a first-timer in the bottom left corner for his third goal of the competition.

The All Whites won't be back in action until September 8, when they face Mexico in California.
