The Australian Women's Sevens, currently hosted in Sydney, is an annual rugby sevens tournament and one of the stops on the World Rugby Women's Sevens Series. Australia joined the women's circuit in 2016 for the fifth edition of the series.

Originally hosted at the Sydney Football Stadium[1] prior to its demolition and rebuilding, both the men's and women's events for the Sydney Sevens tournament were moved to Sydney Showground Stadium in 2019,[2] and Western Sydney Stadium for 2020.[3]
