The Niue national soccer team was the national soccer team of Niue, an associated state of New Zealand. 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Niue Island Soccer Association was an associate member of the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) until its membership was revoked in 2021 due to inactivity. 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.
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.
