This list comprises sportspeople originally from Fiji, as well as some expatriates who play for or coach Fijian teams. The term Fijian is used here in a national, rather than ethnic, sense. Noa Nadruku was the first Fijian to play rugby league in the NRL. He played in the 1980s and 1990s for Canberra Raiders and the North Queensland Cowboys after switching from rugby union.
