The men's tournament for the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens was held in Cape Town, South Africa from 9 to 11 September at the Cape Town Stadium.

Teams[edit]

The eight quarter-finalists from the 2018 Rugby World Cup Sevens, including the 2022 tournament host South Africa, were automatic qualifiers.[1] The remaining 16 places were decided in the six continental regions.[1]

Notes
  1. ^ Africa: The top three teams from the 2022 Africa Men's Sevens joined host nation South Africa at the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens.
  • ^ North America: The top two teams from the 2022 RAN Sevens Qualifiers joined automatic qualifier United States at the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens.
  • ^ South America: The top two teams from the 2021 Sudamérica Rugby Sevens joined automatic qualifier Argentina at the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens.
  • ^ Asia did not have an automatic qualifier for the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens but the top two teams from the 2021 Asia Rugby Sevens Series won qualifier berths.
  • ^ Europe: The top four teams from the 2022 European Qualifier event joined automatic qualifiers England, France and Scotland at the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens.
  • ^ Oceania was not able to hold a qualifying tournament due to ongoing impacts of COVID-19 in 2021 and 2022. Fiji and New Zealand qualified automatically but the other three qualifiers were determined by placings in the World Rugby Sevens Series and Oceania Sevens.[2] No Oceania teams played in the 2021 World Series but Australia and Samoa were given qualifier berths at the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens due to finishing 4th and 12th, respectively, in the 2020 World Series.[2] Tonga gained the final berth by placing 5th in the 2019 Oceania Sevens, which was the last continental championship contested by the majority of eligible unions.[2]

    • Draw[edit]

    The fourteen core teams from the World Rugby Sevens Series were seeded according to their points accumulated across the 2019–20 and 2021–22 seasons prior to July 2022.
