The Cook Islands national Under 20 rugby team is for Cook Islands rugby union players aged 20 or under on January 1 of the year during which they are selected.[1] The team has played at the World Rugby U20 Trophy and also competes at the Oceania U20 Championship.[2]
Under 20 age grade rugby came into existence as a result of the IRB combining the Under 19 Rugby World Championship and Under 21 Rugby World Championship into a single IRB Junior World Championship tournament.[3]

[edit]In April 2008, Chile hosted the 2008 IRB Junior World Rugby Trophy. The Cook Islands lost their three pool matches against Chile, Romania, and Namibia before winning the 7th place play-off against Jamaica by 55–15.[4]
