It was the flag everyone was trying to get their hands on - so much so that it sold out around the country.
And it appears the desperation to find a Samoan flag around New Zealand resulted in it being the second most searched item on auction site Trade Me last month.
As the Samoan rugby league team - Toa Samoa - continued to succeed throughout the Rugby League World Cup tournament, fans took to showing off their pride and joy by decking out their vehicles in Samoan flags and waving them on the streets.
Trade Me’s Trending searches for November showed the Samoan flag was the second most sought after item on the site.
“The Samoa flag coloured Aotearoa red and blue last month; with fans of Toa Samoa...keen to flag their support,” the website said.
