Teams

Fourteen national teams are scheduled to compete at the 2023 tournament, plus an Oceania invitational team:[2][3]

Format

Teams were seeded into three pools of five.[4]

To allow a clear run for countries competing for qualification to the 2024 Summer Olympic Sevens, the three Oceania nations already qualified (Australia, Fiji and New Zealand) are placed in Pool A together with, Niue (not Olympic eligible) and the Oceania invitational team (Barbarians). The remaining teams are seeded into Pool B and Pool C for Olympic qualification.[1]

A playoff between the winners of Pool B and Pool C decided the Olympic qualifying berth.
