The New Caledonia national football team is the team of New Caledonia and is controlled by the Fédération Calédonienne de Football.

They have been one of this relatively small region's strongest teams, finishing second in 2008 and 2012, and third in 1973 and 1980. They were the top ranked OFC nation at number 95 in September 2008,^[1] making them only the fourth country from the confederation to have reached the global top 100.
