Rugby sevens at the 2017 Pacific Mini Games was held in Port Vila, Vanuatu at the Korman Stadium, from 8 to 9 December 2017.[1][2] There was no women's tournament for this sport at these games. The competition also doubled as the final Oceania qualifying spot to the 2018 Rugby World Cup SevensinSan Francisco.[3]

Samoa edged Fiji to win the gold medal.[4][5] Tonga beat the Solomon Islands for the bronze medal.[3][5] Since Fiji and Samoa had already qualified for the 2018 Rugby World Cup Sevens, the final World Cup spot went to Tonga.[3][1]

Participating teams[edit]

Twelve teams were initially expected to compete in the competition.[1] Tahiti withdrew at the last minute due to the French Polynesian government's decision to boycott the games.[6][7]
