Western Samoa have played in every Rugby World Cup since the 1991 Rugby World Cup. Their omission from the inaugural tournament in 1987 was controversial, as there were no qualifications.

Hosting
So far Western Samoa has not hosted any World Cup games, and has not put in bids for future tournaments. Due to the lack of facilities, and the small size of the island nation, it is unlikely it will do so in the future.
Portrayal on screen
Samoa can be seen playing South Africa in the feature film Invictus based on the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
