The rugby sevens tournaments at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris took place from 24 to 30 July at Stade de France.[1] Twenty-four teams (twelve each for men and women) competed against each other in their respective tournaments.[2] For the first time, the rugby sevens matches commenced two days before the opening ceremony with the men's preliminary and quarterfinal stages. The competition took a break for the opening ceremony on 26 July before the medal-winning teams were officially unveiled a day later. The women's tournament was held from 28 to 30 July, culminating with the gold and bronze medal matches.[3]

## Qualification

[edit]

The International Olympic Committee and the World Rugby (WR) have ratified and released the qualification criteria for Paris 2024. The host nation France reserves a direct quota place each in the men's and women's tournament with the remainder of the total quota attributed to the eligible National Olympic Committees (NOCs) across three qualifying routes.[2]

The top four squads at the end of the 2022–23 World Rugby Sevens Series secured the men's and women's spots for their respective NOC, with the continental champions from each of the six confederations (Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, North America, and South America) receiving the berths at their designated 2023 World Rugby Regional Association Olympic Qualification Tournaments.[2] To complete the twelve-team field for Paris 2024, the remaining spot will be offered to the winner of the 2024 Final Olympic Qualification Tournament to be scheduled a month before the Games commence.[2][4]
