Tokelau dependency of New Zealand, with a population of fewer than 1,500 has yet to take part in the Commonwealth Games. Tokelau does not usually compete in international sports events beyond the Pacific region.
The territory was expected to make its début at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India, from 3 October to 14 October 2010. However no team was present for the Opening Ceremony and the territory does not appear on the official list of participants.
