2002 tournament
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.[3]
Papua New Guinea defeated Tonga in the final.[4][5]
First round
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.[6]
Pool A
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.[7]
