Rugby tournament
The 2023 Oceania Women's Sevens Championship was the twelfth Oceania Women's Sevens Championship tournament for Oceania women's teams. It also served as the regional qualifier for the 2024 Paris Olympic Sevens and was held at Ballymore Stadium in Brisbane , Australia from 10 to 12 November.[ 1]
Teams
Ten national teams were scheduled to compete at the 2023 tournament.[ 2]
With Australia and New Zealand already having qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics , both were placed in Pool A where they played each other four times before the knockout stage.[ 1] The remaining eight teams were seeded into Pool B and Pool C to allow a clear run for countries competing for Olympic qualification.[ 3]
A knockout competition involving the two top teams of Pool B and two top teams of Pool C decided the Olympic qualifying berth.
