History

[edit]

Vanuatu made their international debut at the 2019 Oceania Women's Sevens Championship against hosts, Fiji.[1][2] They placed tenth overall out of twelve competing teams.[2] They had their first taste of international sevens when they played New Caledonia ahead of the Pacific Games in Samoa earlier that year.[1]

They competed at the 2022 Oceania Rugby Sevens Challenge tournament in Brisbane in an attempt to qualify for the World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series in 2023.[3][4]
