Regional cup best = -The Sint Maarten national football team is the football team of Sint Maarten, the Dutch half of the Saint Martin island which is part of the Netherlands Antilles (not to be confused with the team of the French half, the Saint-Martin national football team) and is controlled by the Sint Maarten Soccer Association. Sint Maarten is not a member of FIFA, and is therefore not eligible to enter the World Cup, but they do compete in CONCACAF competitions, where it is one of the weakest teams.

The Dutch part of the island of St.Martin has been completely absent from all CONCACAF tournaments for what seems like an eternity. While, strangely, the French part of the island, Saint-Martin, is becoming more active. It seems to be a coincidence that since Saint-Martin began participating in CONCACAF tournaments, Sint Maarten have stopped playing. Only one match has been played since the year 2000 - a 2-2 draw at home to Sint Eustatius on 20th August 2004. Sint Maarten is in the process of political change - a change which will see the Netherlands Antilles dissolved in December 2008, and Sint Maarten and Curacao go their separate ways. This change means Sint Maarten will be eligible to become members of FIFA, as they will be a separate autonomous region of the Netherlands.
