The Cook Islands Sports and National Olympic Committee (CISNOC) (IOC code: COK) is the governing body for sports in Cook Islands and its National Olympic Committee. [1]

Originally founded in 1943 as the Rarotonga Sports Association, the organisation became the Cook Islands Sports Association in 1960. [2] In 1986 it was recognised by the International Olympic Committee and changed its name to the Cook Islands Sports & Olympic Association (CISOA). In 2002 it changed its name to the Cook Islands Sports & National Olympic Committee. [2] In 1992 when Lotto was introduced to the Cook Islands, it was used to fund CISOA, with 35% of sales going to the organisation. [3]

Past presidents of the organisation include: [4]
