Background
The 1975 Pacific Cup was initiated by the New South Wales Rugby League. The tournament involved two Australian state sides as well as Papua New Guinea, who did not yet have Test match status, and the New Zealand Māori.[1]
The Northern Territory were invited to participate, but had to drop out after Darwin was devastated by Cyclone Tracy.[2]
Squads
- Coached by Tom Newton, the New Zealand Māori squad included Paul Matete, John Wilson, Fred Ah Kuoi, John Smith, Rick Muru, Dane Sorensen, Dennis Key, Ian Bell and captain Richard Bolton.[1] The Māori side played a warm up game before the competition began, defeating Group 19 12-11 in Tweed Heads.
