Country | Tokelau |
National team(s) | Tokelau |
Rugby league is played in Tokelau[1] and by Tokelaun ex-pats in New Zealand. A domestic competition has been established and a representative team has begun to play internationals against other Pacific teams.[2]
The future of Tokelau as a league nation is limited by its small population although like the comparable Cook Islands, a large community of people with Tokelau heritage live in New Zealand.
In 1986 the Tokelau national team participated in the South Pacific Rugby League in the Cook Islands[3] and in 2006 was a late entrant into the Pacific Cup competition.
