History Rugby union was first introduced into NewCaledonia by the French, and has been played there for at least a century. NewCaledonia is still a French colony, and this has proven a mixed blessing, as players have the prospect of promotion to French professionalism semi amateurism, but this also potentially weakens the New Caledonian system, removing players, and disallowing them to represent their own country. Rugby Sevens has been a sport in the South Pacific Games since the late 1990s. There is also a semi formal league structure.
