The final qualification repechage tournament for men's rugby sevens at the 2020 Summer Olympics was held on 18–20 June 2021 at Stade Louis II in Monaco.[1] The tournament was originally scheduled for a year earlier,[2] but was postponed until 2021 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.[3]
Twelve men's teams were eligible to compete in the repechage tournament, being the second and third ranked teams from the six continental qualifiers. Two teams, Brazil and China, withdrew a month before the competition due to challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.[4] A third team, Uganda, had to withdraw after members of their squad recorded positive COVID-19 test results on arrival in Monaco. This reduced the number of teams competing to nine.[5]
Ireland won the repechage tournament, defeating France by 28–19 in the final, to qualify for the men's sevens tournament at the Tokyo Olympics.[2][5]
