The Women's Pacific Tri-Nations tournament was played for the first time, and this far only, time at Teufaiva Park, Nuku’alofa, Tonga, in April 2006.

Samoa have been playing international rugby since 2000, and took part in the last two World Cups, but for the other two nations the 2006 tournament was the venue for their first 15-a-side internationals.

Although a Samoan victory was hardly unexpected, Fiji's women at least pushed them close and overall the tournament was a success. However, the expressed hope that it would become an annual event has yet to be fulfilled.
