History

The team played its only international games at the 1983 South Pacific Games. A 0–14 loss to Tahiti was followed by a 0–19 loss to Papua New Guinea.

The Niue Island Soccer Association was an associate member of the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) until its membership was revoked in 2021 due to inactivity.^[2] Because it was not a FIFA member, the team was already ineligible to enter the World Cup even when it was still an OFC member.^[3]

The first official 11 v 11 match in several years was announced for November 2023. The match will be a representative team of the south vs the north of Niue.^[4]
