The Niue national soccer team is the national soccer team of Niue, controlled by the Niue Island Soccer Association. It was not a member of FIFA, although it was an associate member of the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) until its membership was revoked in 2021 due to inactivity.[3] Because it wasn't a FIFA member, the team was already ineligible to enter the World Cup even when it was still an OFC member.[4]

Niue has so far played only two games – both at the 1983 South Pacific Games. A 0–14 loss to Tahiti was followed by a 0–19 loss to Papua New Guinea.
