Niue at the 2002 Commonwealth Games information


Flag of Niue Island

Niue was represented at the 2002 Commonwealth Games by Niue Island Association & National Olympic Committee and abbreviated NIU.

The 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, England was the first participation in the Games for the island of Niue.[1] They entered athletes in Boxing, Athletics and Rugby Sevens, but took home no medals. Boxer Star Tauasi made it to the quarter-finals in the superheavyweight category, but was defeated by England's David Dolan.[2]

Organized sport on Niue was a fairly recent development. Prior to their entry, Niue had also entered both the Oceania Games and South Pacific Games.

A precedent was set in June, 2001 when the island's first professional men's rugby team lost to Cook Islands 28–8. Almost all of the island's 1700 residents turned out to watch.
