They were pooled with New Zealand and Samoa at the 2004 Wellington Sevens.[3][4] At the 2006 Wellington Sevens they were edged out by Scotland in the Bowl quarterfinals.[5][6]
In 2009, they were drawn in the same pool with New Zealand, Australia, and Wales for the Wellington Sevens.[7][6] They featured at the Adelaide and Wellington Sevens in 2010, and participated in the 2011 Gold Coast Sevens.[8]
Niue competed at the 2023 Oceania Sevens Championship in Brisbane; they finished 15th overall after losing all four of their matches.[9][10]
