The Asia-Pacific Mathematical Olympiad is a prestigious competition for high school students from countries around the Pacific Rim, first held in 1989. Each year, around 40 countries and territories take part in the contest, which features five proof-based problems to be solved within four hours.

In 2026, Vietnam assumes the role of the main coordinating country for APMO during the 2026–2028 period. It also hosted the national round, with the participation of 22 outstanding students selected from national mathematics competitions and previous international Olympiad teams.

The results from the national round in Vietnam are expected to contribute to strong performances when compared with contestants from nearly 50 countries and territories participating in this year’s competition.
