# Samoa Rugby Shirts & Kit ## About Manu Samoa - One of Rugby's Most Passionate Nations Samoa have a proud and storied rugby history that punches well above the weight of a nation with a population under 200,000. Known officially as Manu Samoa, they have regularly upset the established rugby order on the world stage, beating Wales at the 1991 World Cup, Argentina in 1995 and the Wallabies in 2011. Their physicality, skill and sheer passion for the game has earned them enormous respect across the rugby world. The Siva Tau - Samoa's pre-match challenge - is one of the most powerful and culturally significant rituals in [international rugby](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/international-rugby-shirts-clothing "International Rugby kits"), a genuine statement of identity and intent before every game. Wearing the Samoa shirt is about more than supporting a team. For many fans, particularly those in the large Samoan diaspora communities across [New Zealand](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/new-zealand-all-blacks-rugby-shirts-kit "All Blacks Rugby Shirts"), Australia, the UK and the United States, it carries real cultural meaning. ## Manu Samoa and Lakapi Samoa - What's the Difference? You'll notice both names appear across the kit on this page and that can be a little confusing if you're not familiar with the two terms. Manu Samoa is the name of the national team - the players who take the field. "Manu" means animal or beast in Samoan, reflecting the physicality and ferocity the team bring to every match. Lakapi Samoa is the governing body - the national rugby union that administers the sport in Samoa. "Lakapi" is simply the Samoan word for rugby. It was previously known as the Samoa Rugby Union before rebranding in 2020. So when you see "Lakapi Samoa" on a training tee or hoodie, you're wearing the branding of the union itself. When you see "Manu Samoa" on a match jersey, that's the team name. Both are official and both are correct — they just refer to different things. ## The Current Manu Samoa Kit - Dynasty The current Manu Samoa match and training kit is [produced by Dynasty](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/dynasty-sport "Dynasty Sport Kit"), who took over the Samoa contract from Samurai. The Dynasty range available here includes the [home replica jersey](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/rugby-shirts "Rugby Shirts"), training tee, training singlet, [gym shorts](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/rugby-shorts "Rugby Shorts") in blue and navy, performance hoodie and the Lakapi Samoa beanie. The Dynasty kit carries intricate Samoan design elements reflecting the culture and heritage of the islands. ## Gilbert Samoa Rugby Balls Alongside the kit, we stock two [Gilbert](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/rugby-balls "Rugby Balls") Samoa balls - the replica size 5 and the supporters ball. The replica ball is a great gift for any Samoa fan, particularly for those who want something that goes beyond a shirt. The supporters ball is a more affordable option and equally popular as a display piece or casual gift. ## Products in this collection - [Dynasty Manu Samoa Men's Home Replica Rugby Shirt](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/dynasty-manu-samoa-mens-home-replica-rugby-shirt) - 79.99 GBP - [Dynasty Lakapi Samoa Men's Training Tee](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/dynasty-lakapi-samoa-mens-training-tee) - 39.99 GBP - [Dynasty Lakapi Samoa Men's Training Singlet](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/dynasty-lakapi-samoa-mens-training-singlet) - 34.99 GBP - [Dynasty Lakapi Samoa Men's Gym Short Blue](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/dynasty-lakapi-samoa-mens-gym-short-blue) - 44.99 GBP - [Dynasty Lakapi Samoa Men's Gym Short Navy](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/dynasty-lakapi-samoa-mens-gym-short-navy) - 44.99 GBP - [Dynasty Lakapi Samoa Men's Performance Hoodie](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/dynasty-lakapi-samoa-mens-performance-hoodie) - 69.99 GBP - [Dynasty Lakapi Samoa 5 Panel Cap](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/dynasty-lakapi-samoa-5-panel-cap) - 19.99 GBP - [Dynasty Lakapi Samoa Beanie](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/dynasty-lakapi-samoa-beanie) - 19.99 GBP - [Samurai Samoa Men's Home Premium Replica Rugby Shirt 2024/25](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/samurai-samoa-mens-home-replica-rugby-shirt-2024-25) - 29.99 GBP - [Samurai Samoa Men's Home 100th Anniversary Replica Rugby Shirt](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/samurai-samoa-mens-home-100th-anniversary-fan-replica-rugby-shirt-2024-25) - 29.99 GBP - [Samurai Samoa Men's Away Premium Replica Rugby Shirt 2024/25](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/samurai-samoa-mens-away-premium-replica-rugby-shirt-2024-25) - 29.99 GBP - [Samurai Samoa Rugby Men's Basketball Vest 2024/25](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/samurai-samoa-mens-basketball-vest-2024-25) - 19.99 GBP - [Samurai Samoa Rugby Brand Tee 2024/25](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/samurai-samoa-brand-tee-2024-25) - 9.99 GBP - [Gilbert Samoa Replica Rugby Ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/samoa-replica-rugby-ball) - 30.99 GBP - [Official Rugby World Cup 2023 Samoa Flag Keyring](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/samoa-rugby-world-cup-2023-flag-keyring) - 0.99 GBP - [Gilbert Samoa Supporters Rugby Ball](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/gilbert-samoa-supporters-rugby-ball) - 15.99 GBP - [Grip Star Samoa Crew Rugby Grip Socks](https://www.rugbystuff.com/products/grip-star-samoa-crew-rugby-grip-socks) - 12.99 GBP --- > Source: [Rugbystuff.com](https://www.rugbystuff.com/collections/samoa-rugby-shirts-and-kit) > Updated: 2026-06-03
