The 2021 Dubai Women's Sevens was held as two rugby sevens tournaments on consecutive weekends in late November and early December that year. They were played as the tenth international season of the Dubai Women's Sevens, following the cancellation of the 2020 tournament due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournaments were the opening events of the 2021–22 World Rugby Women's Sevens Series.

Contents

Due to ongoing impacts of the pandemic, the first event was played behind closed doors on 26–27 November 2021 with no spectators allowed, [1] but the second event was played in front of full crowds on 3–4 December at The Sevens stadium in Dubai. [1] Two pitches were used in Dubai, which allowed matches in overlapping time slots to be played. [2] As only ten women's teams instead of the usual twelve competed in both tournaments, a format based on two pools with five teams in each was used. [1]

Australia won back-to-back titles in Dubai, defeating Fiji in the final of both tournaments.

Format

The ten teams at each tournament were drawn into two pools of five teams. A round-robin was held for each pool, where each team played the others in their pool once. The best teams from each pool played off in the Cup final for the gold and silver medals, and the second best teams from each pool played off in the third place final for the bronze medal.

For the lower classification matches, the third best teams from the pools played off for fifth, the fourth best played off for seventh, and the last two teams in each pool played off for ninth place.

Teams

The ten national women's teams competing at both tournaments in Dubai were:

Core teams eligible to play but not participating at Dubai were:

  England, who were represented by Great Britain for the first two tournaments of the 2021–22 Series, before competing again as a separate national union for the remainder of the series. [3]

  New Zealand, who did not participate in Dubai due to the challenges of COVID-19 travel logistics. [1]
