The Tonga women's national rugby union team (Tongan: timi feohi ʻakapulu fakafonua fefine ʻa Tonga) are a national sporting side of Tonga, representing them at rugby union. They compete annually in the Oceania Rugby Women's Championship.
Tonga played their first international test match against Fiji in 2006 at the Women's Pacific Tri-Nations. Tonga joined the Oceania Rugby Women's Championship in 2018.[1] They recorded their first and biggest win at the 2018 Oceania Championship over Papua New Guinea with a score of 62–26.[2]
There was a measles outbreak in Tonga in 2019, so the team had to withdraw from the Oceania Championship when a player was suspected of having measles.[3] The tournament also acted as a qualifier for the 2021 Rugby World Cup and was revised to allow Tonga to compete for the Oceania berth. Fiji won the Oceania regions only spot and qualified for the World Cup.[3]
In 2020 Tonga played Papua New Guinea and Samoa in a Repechage qualifier playoff for a spot in the Final Qualification Tournament for the 2021 World Cup. Samoa were the team to progress.[3]
Tonga placed third at the 2022 Oceania Rugby Championship.[4]
