History

On 24 November 2020, Moana Pasifika coach Tana Umaga named a 26-man squad for the match against the Māori All Blacks on 5 December 2020. The team was made up of New Zealand-based players who were international or sevens capped by a Pacific team or identified with a Pacific region. On 5 December 2020, the team played their first match, against the Māori All Blacks at Waikato Stadium. Captained by Sydney born Samoan international Michael Ala'alatoa the side lost to the Māori 28–21.

Moana Pasifika is a professional rugby union team based in New Zealand. The team was established in 2020 and is made up of players of Pacific Island heritage. The name "Moana Pasifika" translates to "Pacific Ocean" in the Samoan and Tongan languages, reflecting the team's connection to the Pacific Islands.

The team plays in the Super Rugby competition, which includes teams from New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa. Moana Pasifika is the first Pacific Island team to compete in the competition, and their inclusion is seen as a significant step forward for rugby in the region.

The team's colors are blue and white, with a logo featuring a stylized wave and a traditional Pacific Island pattern. The team's home ground is currently Eden Park in Auckland, although they may play some games in Samoa and Tonga in the future.

Moana Pasifika is committed to promoting Pacific Island culture and values through rugby. The team aims to provide opportunities for Pacific Island players to showcase their skills at the highest level of the sport, while also inspiring the next generation of rugby players in the region.
