The New Zealand Māori cricket team is a team that represented the Māori community of New Zealand in the 2001 Pacifica Cup cricket tournament. Whilst their rugby union and rugby league counterparts play often, this is the only appearance to date of the cricket team.

They then beat Tonga in the semi-finals before beating Fiji in the final to win the tournament.[1] They did not compete in the 2002 tournament.[2]

2024 Women's Pacific Cup
