The Cook Islands Football Association is the governing body of football in the Cook Islands.
History The association was founded in 1991.

Stadium and headquarters
In 2003, FIFA's Goal Programme funded the building of the "House of Football" CIFA Academy in Matavera, which would double as the association's headquarters and football pitch, which would officially open in April 2004. In June 2006, the stadium would be expanded to include a 500-seater grandstand with covered seating and dressing rooms. In 2010, further developments were made, including a new administration and gym building. In 2017, a major upgrade to the main pitch would be made with a reported budget of $500,000.
