National Team Unity is a political party in Trinidad and Tobago led by Human Rights lawyer and former Attorney General Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj. Originally founded as Team Unity, to contest party elections in the United National Congress in 2001, the slate of candidates was defeated by one backed by the UNC political leader, Basdeo Panday. Maharaj, together with MPs Trevor Sudama and Ralph Maraj later left the party. This led to the UNC losing its parliamentary majority, forcing national elections. Renaming itself National Team Unity, the party contested the 2001 general elections, but won no seats. It did not contest the 2002 general elections, and remains more of a pressure group than a true national political party.
