The Kaiviti Silktails are a semi-professional rugby league football club from Fiji competing in the NSWRL's Jersey Flegg Cup.

From 2020 to 2023, they competed in the Ron Massey Cup.[1]

History

The NSWRL had first endorsed a bid team from Fiji led by Petero Civoniceva early in 2014 to have a team compete in the 2016 NSW Cup competition.[2] The bid received endorsement from the Fiji National Rugby League in 2018.[3] In June 2019, it was announced that the Kaiviti Silktails would enter the Ron Massey Cup in 2020, with promotion to the New South Wales Cup in 2021. Brandon Costin, coach of the Fijian national team, was announced as head coach.[4][5]

The Silktails won their opening match of the 2020 season 40–16 against the Windsor Wolves in Lautoka.[6] The season was subsequently cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Wes Naiqama was named head coach in June 2020.[7]

The Silktails remained in the Ron Massey Cup in 2021, remaining in Australia for the duration of the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and playing their home matches at Mascot Oval.[8][9] During their round 1 bye, the team played a trial match against the Mascot Jets,[10] winning 46–16.[11] Their round 2 match against the Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles was postponed due to inclement weather.[12]

In 2022, the Silktails became a predominantly under-23 side.[13] In December 2023, it was announced that Silktails would become an under-21 side and join the Jersey Flegg Cup.[14]
