Date28 – 30 July 2024
StatusOlympic
LocationStade de France, Saint-Denis, France
Participants156 from 12 countries
FormatRound-robin pools advance teams to single-elimination tournament of eight teams.

The women’s tournament was held from 28-30 July, with 12 teams. Group A had reigning champions New Zealand against Fiji, Canada, and China. Group B featured Australia, Ireland, Great Britain, and South Africa, while Group C included France (host nation), the United States, Japan, and Brazil.

The favorites were the defending gold medalists, New Zealand, which had also won silver at Rio de Janeiro 2016. Australia was the gold medalist at Rio and was expected to contend for a medal in Paris, along with host nation France, the silver medalist at Tokyo 2020.

All the medal favorites made it past group play, with New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the United States winning their quarter-final matches. France was upset in the quarters by Canada, 19-14.

New Zealand handled the United States easily in the semi-final, 24-12, but Canada posted another upset victory, defeating Australia, 21-12, to advance to the gold medal match. In the final, Canada actually led at the half, 12-7, but New Zealand came back with two tries in the second half to defend their gold medal, 19-12.

The bronze medal match was one of high drama as Australia led 12-7, with only seconds remaining, when the United States’ Spiff Sedrick broke away for an almost full field length run to score a try, and then converted for a 14-12 victory and the bronze medal.
