The following is a list of matches played by the Mauritius national football team from 1947 to 1968.[1] Since Mauritius became an independent nation in 1968, these results were all played while Mauritius was still owned by the United Kingdom. Mauritius won their first 17 games in a row, only playing in the Indian Ocean Games Triangulaire. They would win 10 of 13 triangulaire tournaments, playing only Réunion and Madagascar until 1967.
