The Fiji and the Samoa national teams have played each other fifty-seven times with Fiji holding the majority on thirty-three wins against Samoa's twenty-one. They regularly play each other in the annual Pacific Nations Cup (PNC).

During the early years of their encounters, they played each other in sporadic small tours or in the South Pacific Championship and the Pacific-Rim Championship with other Pacific nations. They would also play each other on a friendly home-and-away-away basis, but these matches would mostly be used for Rugby World Cup (RWC) qualification. These two sides have only played each other once in a Rugby World Cup fixture, in the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, where they met at Eden Park. Samoa won the match 27–7.
