The Norfolk Island national rugby league team (or the Pine Trees) is the representative side of Norfolk Island in rugby league football.

In the 1990s there were three senior teams on Norfolk Island, but by 2017 a lack of players meant that rugby league was only played as a junior sport.[1] On the Rugby League International Federation website, the governing body for the sport (Norfolk Island Rugby League) was classified as an "observer nation" until 2019, when membership was changed to "pending".[2][3]
