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) were placed in Pool A together with, Niue (not Olympic eligible) and the Oceania invitational team (Barbarians). The remaining teams were 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.
