The British charity's chief executive Mark Goldring told a parliamentary committee in London that 16 of the cases related to its international operation.
"There are 26 cases that have come forward... They range in time frame from more recent events to long historic events where people did not report them at the time," Goldring said.
"We really want people to come forward," he added.
Goldring apologised "wholeheartedly" on behalf of Oxfam to the committee, which said it would conduct its own inquiry into abuses in the foreign aid sector.
