The American Samoa national soccer team is the national team of American Samoa and is controlled by American Samoa Football Association. It is one of the weakest teams in the world, due to both its small population base and the overwhelming popularity of American football, basketball and baseball in American Samoa. In fact, it holds the distinction of suffering the largest loss in international football history, having been defeated by Australia 31-0 on April 11, 2001.

American Samoa has never won a FIFA-sanctioned match. The team has only recorded one victory in its history over Wallis and Futuna Islands in 1983, when both teams were not yet members of FIFA (Wallis and Futuna Islands still is not).

As of July 2006 according to the FIFA World Rankings, American Samoa are ranked 196th, or joint last, in the world of FIFA-sanctioned, international football.
