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 2017 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 the Sydney Showground Stadium in 2019,[2] and then to Western Sydney Stadium for 2020.[3] Since 2024 the tournament has been played in Perth at Perth Rectangular Stadium.
