The MOU grants France Cricket "the right to call up players in New Caledonia for the French national team, but not if they play the non-standard form of the game"[4] The Pacifica Cup took place twice, in 2001 and 2002.

New Caledonia's tournament started badly with a 360 run defeat by Fiji, in which three Fijian batsmen retired after scoring centuries in their innings of 433/5.

Their opponents reached this target inside 12 overs thanks to a quick-fire innings of 66 from Richard Tatwin to win by six wickets.

[10] Their second match against the tournament hosts Samoa was lost by seven wickets when no New Caledonia batsman reached double figures.

[11] Another comprehensive defeat, this time losing by 278 runs to Tonga continued their tournament,[12] which concluded with a 314 run defeat by the Cook Islands, which saw Cook Islands bowler Dunu Eliaba take nine wickets in the New Caledonia innings, which he finished off with a hat-trick.

[14] The cricket tournament of the 2003 South Pacific Games in Fiji started with New Caledonia taking on Samoa.
