The West Indies rugby league team (nicknamed "The Wahoos") represented the Caribbean and West Indies region in the sport of rugby league football. Governed by the West Indies Rugby League Federation, the team played their only international against South Africa in 2004.

Like the Great Britain national rugby league team, the team split into individual nations following their 2004 international. Subsequently, Jamaica qualified for the 2021 Rugby League World Cup.
