Quick Facts Country, National team(s) ...

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.
