The 2021 Sudamérica Rugby Sevens was the 15th edition of the Sudamérica Sevens. It was held in San José, Costa Rica from 27–28 November. It was a qualifier for the 2022 World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series in Chile and 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens in South Africa.[1][2][3] Uruguay and Chile were the two teams that qualified as winner and runner-up.[4]

Format

[edit]

The unconventional format for the tournament was played out in two/three parts: a pool stage (three teams per pool) in which three teams played each other once. This was followed by several inter-pool matches, with only the top two teams in each pool vying for a place in the semi-finals (teams whom finished bottom of their pool were vying for a placing position). Following the pool stage and ranking matches, there was a four team knockout round. The two semi-final winners qualified for the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens.[5] The stadium of the tournament was Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica.
