The Samoa national badminton team (Samoan: Au badminton a Samoa) represents Samoa in international badminton team competitions and is controlled by the Samoa Badminton Association located in Apia.[1] It is associated with Badminton Oceania. The Samoan team once won bronze in the 2007 South Pacific Games mixed team event.[2]
Badminton was first played in Samoa in the 1950s when expatriates from the London Missionary Society serving at the Apia Protestant Church started playing the sport. The country began organizing badminton competitions in 1987 to spread the popularity of the sport around the country.[3]
The Samoan mixed team competed in the mixed team event at the 2003 South Pacific Games.[4] The team lost to New Caledonia, Fiji and Wallis and Futuna but beat Nauru 5−0 to finish in 4th place.[5] In 2007, the team won their first international team medal when the team finished in 3rd place for bronze in the 2007 South Pacific Games mixed team event.[6] In 2019, the team competed in the 2019 Oceania Mixed Team Championships and finished in 7th place.[7][8] In that same year, the team competed in the 2019 Pacific Games as the home team and finished in 6th place.[9][10]
