The 2023 Oceania Sevens Championship was the fifteenth Oceania Sevens tournament in men's rugby sevens. 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

[edit]

Fourteen national teams were scheduled to compete at the 2023 tournament, plus an Oceania invitational team:[2][3]

Format

[edit]

Teams were seeded into three pools of five.[4]

To allow a clear run for countries competing for qualification to the 2024 Summer Olympic Sevens, the three Oceania nations already qualified (Australia, Fiji and New Zealand) were placed in Pool A together with, Niue (not Olympic eligible) and the Oceania invitational team (Barbarians). The remaining teams were seeded into Pool B and Pool C for Olympic qualification.[1]

A playoff between the winners of Pool B and Pool C decided the Olympic qualifying berth.
