The 2022 Africa Women's Sevens are an annual African rugby sevens tournament that took place at the Stade Municipal de Jemmal in Jemmal on 29 and 30 April 2022; they were held in Tunisia for the fourth time.[1]
Nine teams participated in the tournament, including 2019 champions South Africa (who successfully defended their title and qualified for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham).[2] Since South Africa already qualify for the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens as hosts, Madagascar secured the World Cup ticket to Cape Town by finishing as runners-up.
Format
Teams are divided into three pools, in which they each play two matches. Based on their pool positions and points differences, the lowest-ranked team overall is eliminated and the remaining teams seeded in the knockout-stage Cup quarter-finals.
Quarter-final winners advance to the Cup semi-finals (and final / third-place match beyond those), whilst the losers contest the lower-classification Plate matches.
