The South Africa women's national rugby sevens team competes at events within the World Rugby Women's Sevens Series and are a core team for the 2023âÂÂ24 season. They first played in the 2009 Rugby World Cup Sevens, and also competed in the IRB Women's Sevens Challenge Cup in the 2011âÂÂ12 season.
South Africa qualified for the 2016 Rio Olympics after winning the 2015 Women's Africa Cup Sevens, but did not enter the tournament because the South African Olympic Committee (SASCOC) rules states that teams cannot qualify by winning continental titles. As in 2016, South Africa missed Tokyo 2020 for the same reason. South Africa will finally make their Olympic debut in Paris 2024.
2026 SVNS 3 in squad was announced on 12 January 2026.
