Established in 2006, It has survived many administration changes and is now the recognised ITF/NZTFI Associate Heritage Nation affiliate for all things Niue Tag.  With such a small population in Niue and more Niuen nationals based in Auckland New Zealand, It was logical that Niue Tag would be based permanently in Auckland.
