By the time of Jesus' birth... most of the tribes of Israel [the ten tribes of the House of Israel] were GONE. They had long been scattered among the Gentile nations centuries before.
"So Israel rebelled against the House of David [the Jews; Judah] unto this day... when Rehoboam [king of Judah] was come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the House of Judah, with the tribe of Benjamin... to fight against the House of Israel..." (I Kings 12:19-21).
"Therefore the Lord was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of His sight: there was none left but the tribe of Judah[the Jews] only." (II Kings 17:18)
Although "remnants" of some of the other tribes may have been extant in Judaea at the time of Christ... God had preserved the tribe of Judah [the Jews] and the tribe of Benjaminin the wake of the removal of the House of Israel.
So, the disciples of Christ were probably either "Jews" of the tribe of "Judah"... as Christ was... or they were "Benjaminites." Of whom Paul was one:
"...For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin." (Rom.11:1)

Do the twelve disciples of Jesus represent the twelve tribes of Israel?
Some who are sceptical about the gospels story say that the twelve disciples represent the twelve tribes of Israel. Some even go further and say that, in both cases, the twelve derives from the twelve star signs in the heavens.Answer 2If the question "represent" is intended as "come from", i.e. did each of Jesus' twelve disciples come from a different tribe, then the answer is: No. All of Jesus' followers were either Levites or Judahites. The other tribes were not represented.Answer/Maybe.According to the Epistle of Barnabas, who wrote: '.. to whom the Lord gave authority to preach his Gospel : being at the beginning twelve, to signify the tribes, because there were twelve tribes of Israel.' Note that the earliest known version of the Epistle of Barnabas is from the 4th century (~300 years after Barnabas walked the earth) and is only only ascribed to Barnabas by tradition so its authenticity is unknown.
