Comment: Need proper sources with SIGCOV. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 04:22, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This only cites one source which doesn't support everything in the draft. The source even says "it is not confirmed" so we need references that are secondary showing that it took place, the results, etc. CNMall41 (talk) 21:27, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

The Pacifica Cup was an international cricket tournament contested in 2001 and 2002 by teams from the Pacific Islands.
The 2002 tournament was played in Apia, Samoa, with all games taking place on various grounds of the Faleata Oval. Seven teams took part in the tournament, with the New Zealand Māori team not taking part this year.[1]
Papua New Guinea defeated Tonga in the final.[2] [3]
First round[edit]
The seven teams were split into two pools, with Fiji and Papua New Guinea alone in Pool A, whilst Pool B consisted of the other five teams.[4]
Pool A[edit]
Pool A was reduced to what was essentially a three-match series between Papua New Guinea and Fiji. All three matches were won by Papua New Guinea, who thus qualified for the final.[5]

Pool B[edit]
Pool B was topped by Tonga, who reached the final after winning all four of their matches. As in 2001, New Caledonia were at the foot of the pool, losing all four of their matches, including a 314 run defeat at the hands of group runners-up the Cook Islands.
