Tokelau, a dependency of New Zealand with a population of fewer than 1,500, has yet to take part in the Commonwealth Games. Tokelau usually only competes in international sports events in the Pacific region, such as the Pacific Games and Pacific Mini Games.

A team representing Tokelau was expected to make its début at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India, from 3 to 14 October 2010.[1][2] However no team was present for the Opening Ceremony, and no Tokelauan athletes took part in the Games.[3]

In 2018, Tokelau became a member of the Commonwealth Wrestling Board. It was noted to be ineligible for the Commonwealth Games until it became affiliated to at least five international sport federations.[4]
