Between 2006 and 2021 the NISA was an associate member of the Oceania Football Confederation. Membership was revoked following a decade of inactivity, although it was suggested that a new organisation would be established.[1] It has since been replaced by the Niue Football Association as the governing body on the island.

Teams / Tournaments
The NISA oversaw the Niue national football team in 1983 when the national side started, losing 19-0 to Papua New Guinea.
The NISA also organised the Niue soccer league each year.
