New Caledonia are one of 160 national teams who have never won a FIFA World Cup or their confederation's continental championship — the same two-tier standard tracked for every team on this site. New Caledonia finished runners-up at the OFC Nations Cup in 2008 and 2012: second in the home-and-away league in 2008, then losing a knockout final in 2012. The second run included a 2-0 semi-final win over New Zealand, before Tahiti beat them 1-0 in the final; that remains the island's best senior continental finish.
