National Team
The Cook Islands national rugby union team began playing international rugby union in 1971. Thus far, the Cook Islands have not made an appearance at any of the World Cups. They are traditionally considered as the sixth best team from Oceania, even they still are very far from the level of Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. They can also supply players for the Pacific Islanders team.
