Rugby sevens at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, also known as Glasgow2014 Games, was the fifth time in the competition's history that the event took place. The tournament's preliminaries took place on 26 July, with the classification matches, quarterfinals, semifinals and medal matches the following day. [1] The venue for the competition was Ibrox Stadium. South Africa beat the reigning champions New Zealand in the final on 27 July, beating their opponents 17-12. It was the first time that New Zealand had been beaten in any game since the inception of rugby sevens at the Commonwealth Games in 1998, ending their 30 match win streak and marking the first time any other nation had won the competition.

The sixteen teams were divided into four pools of four nations, with each nation playing their other pool opponents once, every nation playing three times during the group stages. Nations were awarded 3 points for a win, 2 for a draw and one point for a loss, the top two nations of every pool advance to the quarterfinals of the medal competition. The winners of each pool then faced the runners up of a different pool in the quarterfinals in a straight single-elimination knockout competition. The winners moved on to the semifinals, with the winners then moving onto the final, and the losers of the semifinals contesting a play off for the bronze medal.
