The 2022 Spain Women's Sevens was a dual rugby sevens tournament that take place between 21–23 January at Estadio Ciudad in Málaga and 28–30 January at Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville. It was the first time the series was held in Spain. The winner of the first event in Málaga was the United States, whom beat Russia in the final 35–10. The winner of the Seville leg was Australia, whom beat Ireland 17–12 in their first cup final appearance.

Format[]

The twelve teams are drawn into three pools of four. Each team will play their other three opponents in their pool once. The top two teams from each pool advance to the Cup bracket, with the two best third-placed teams also advancing. The remaining four teams will compete for a 9th–12th placing.

Teams[]

The twelve national women's teams competing in Spain were:

 • England, who were represented by Great Britain for the first two tournaments of the 2021–22 Series, returned to compete as a separate national union for the remainder of the series.[2]

 • Poland was invited to participate for the first time in a World Sevens Series.[3]

 • Belgium was also invited to participate for the first time in a World Sevens Series, replacing New Zealand who were unable to travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

 • Fiji did not compete in Spain. The team withdrew from both tournaments after members of their squad tested positive for COVID-19.[5] However, Fiji was not replaced in the draw for Málaga.[4] Their matches were recorded as 0–0 byes and their opponents awarded wins automatically via walkover. As such, despite not playing, Fiji was placed twelfth in Málaga and received one point toward their season standings from the event.[6]

 • Portugal was invited to participate in Seville, replacing Fiji.

Notes

  1. ^ a b c d The Fiji team did not play in the tournament, however were not replaced. Thus there opponents in the Pool Stage received three points and their matches were put down as a "bye". And there matches in the Knockout Stage were walkovers, with the opposing team automatically advancing. The fixtures were recorded as "0–0" results.[1]
  2. ^ Canada received three points for a "bye" result against Fiji, whom couldn't contend the event due to "COVID-19 logistical challenges".
