The Tokelau national rugby league team represents Tokelau in rugby league football and first participated in international competition in 1986.

Tokelau has participated four times in the Pacific Cup: in 1986, 1988, 1992 and 2006.

Tokelau is expected to make a return to international Rugby League with the planned introduction of a new formalise the structure for Rugby League.[citation needed] It's envisaged from this symposium that rugby league will be able to officially form the Tokelau Rugby League Association (TRLA). The TRLA will be the driving force behind Tokelau's rugby league development and also allow the game to receive support from the Tokelau government.

In December 2011 the Tokelau National Sports Coordinator made contact with the Rugby League International Federation (RLIF) to express their ambitions to come back to the rugby league fold. After the TRLA is formalised in February/March 2012 the first goal of the body is to obtain membership of the Asia Pacific Rugby League Confederation (APRLC).[2]
