Rugby league in Tokelau

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rugby league is played in Tokelau and by ex-pats in New Zealand. A domestic competition has been established and a representative team has begun to play internationals against other Pacific teams.

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 2006 the Tokelau National team was a late entrant into the Pacific Cup competition.
