Rugby sevens competitions at the 2022 South American Games in Asunción, Paraguay were held between 7 and 9 October 2022 at the Estadio Héroes de Curupayty located within the Parque Olímpico cluster in Luque, a sub-venue outside Asunción.[1]

Two medal events were scheduled to be contested: a men's and women's tournament. A total of 192 athletes (84 athletes–7 teams for men and 108 athletes–9 teams for women) competed in the events. Both tournaments were open competitions, however, players must be at least 17 years old at the start of the tournament.[2]

The top two teams in each tournament (excluding Chile (in both tournaments) and Brazil (in the women's tournament)) qualified for the 2023 Pan American Games rugby sevens competitions, plus Chile which qualified automatically as the 2023 Pan American Games hosts.[3]

Chile and Brazil were the defending champions of the South American Games men's and women's rugby sevens events. Chile had won the men's tournament in the Cochabamba 2018 edition while Brazil had won all previous women's tournament.

Argentina and Brazil won the gold medal in the men's and women's events respectively.[4][5]
