Nanumaga won its first major title in Tuvalu in 2023 by winning the Independence Cup (held to recognise the independence of Tuvalu), although they were the runner up in the Independence Cup in 2001 & 2002.[1] In 2014, they were also the runner up in the Tuvalu Games competition, under their alternative name of Ha’apai United.[1]
