The 2009 New Zealand National Rugby Sevens Tournament (more commonly known as the 2009 Pub Charity Sevens tournament) was held in Queenstown, New Zealand, between 10 and 11 January 2009. It was the 33rd edition of the New Zealand National Rugby Sevens Tournament and the sixth time that it was held in Queenstown.
Heading into the tournament, Auckland were the defending champions, having previously won the tournament four consecutive times. But a lost in the quarter-finals to Counties Manukau meant that they wouldn't get a fifth in a row losing 31–0. In the final, it was North Harbour that claimed the trophy for the eighth time as they defeated Counties Manukau in the final 29–26.
