The Montcrabe national peil team (Gaúcho: Seleção Monscrabeira de Peile), officially the Principati's Honored National Peil Team, represents Montcrabe at the CIP World Championship, the highest level of professional international peil. The team is overseen by Montcrabe Peil (MCP), the governing body for peil in Montcrabe. It is a member of CIP Sur, the continental branch of the International Federation of Peil. The team is colloquially known as Os Tenazovo (the Egg-Pincers), in reference to the egg-shaped football, or O Bico (the Bicolor), nicknames inspired by the influential Montcrabe national football team. Despite not being the most popular sport in Montcrabe, the peil national team has been known to excel thanks to the Principati's Talents Project.
Founded in 2000, and joining CIP the same year, the team has participated in every edition of the CIP World Championship since joining. The team's best results in World Championships were third place finishes in 2019 and 2023, and it is currently ranked as the 3rd best national team in the world. Since their founding, the team play their home games at the São João Stadium in Montcrabe City.
