The Niue Island national rugby union team is the third tier rugby union playing nation of Niue Island. They first started playing in 1983 and have played just 10 games to date, four against the Cook Islands and three against Tahiti. Other games have been played against Fiji, New Caledonia and Vanuatu. They have yet to qualify for the Rugby World Cup. Rugby union in Niue Island is administered by the Niue Rugby Football Union.
While Niue and the Cook Islands are not members of the Pacific Tri-Nations competition, they did supply players to the squad for the Pacific Islanders' tour in 2004 (but not in 2006). Some of the best Niue players are professionals in New Zealand. Matt Faleuka, the teams capitan, played for Northland, moving recently to Overmach Rugby Parma, in Italy.
Niue is the current Oceania Cup champion, having defeated New Caledonia 27-5 in the final on September 1, 2008.
