The twelve teams in the tournament were divided into three pools of four, with each team initially playing round-robin games within their group.

Qualification
Brazil men’s team automatically qualified for the event. Qualification began with the 2014–15 Sevens World Series, where the 4 teams at the top of the standings qualified for the 2016 Olympic Games. Between June and September 2015, each of the six regional rugby unions held an Olympic qualification event, where one team from each region qualified. The final spot was determined by a repechage tournament.
