Tournoi du Pacifique (Coupe de France qualifying)


Between 1974 to 1990, clubs from French Polynesia (mainly Tahiti) and New Caledonia played this tournament to determine the Pacific entrants in the (seventh round of the) Coupe de France (French Cup). Until obtaining independence as Vanuatu in 1980, also clubs from the New Hebrides entered at least occasionally.

    Since 1994, both territories enter a team in the seventh round of the
    French Cup.

According to the AS Pirae site, they won the Coupe de France in
1976, 1978, 1980, 1984, 1991, and lost the finals in 1989, 1990,
1992 and 1993; this does not appear to match participants in the
tournament proper.
