Fixtures and Results

History

The Oceania region features the world's top performers in Rugby Sevens, this includes the current Olympic Gold Medalists Australia, and current Commonwealth Games, RWC Sevens and World Rugby HSBC Sevens Series Champions New Zealand.

The last edition of the Oceania Rugby Women's Sevens Championship in 2019 was the seventh edition of the event, and the fifth time the men's and women's sevens championships have been combined.

Since 2017 the combined Oceania Rugby Sevens Championships encourages equal opportunities for Women's rugby Oceania and beyond. This has seen Nauru (2018), New Caledonia (2018) and Vanuatu (2019) field a women's team at an international event.

In 2019 the Canadian and Japan SDS Women's teams became the first non-regional team to participate in the Oceania Rugby Women's Sevens Championship.
