'''Savaii Samoa''' is a former [[Samoa Rugby Football Union|Samoa rugby union]] representative team that played in the [[Pacific Rugby Cup]] from 2006 to 2010. The other Samoan team in the Cup was [[Upolu Samoa]]. Savaii Samoa and Upolu Samoa were selected from tournaments that took place in Samoa.
