The Rugby Americas North Women's Sevens (RAN Women's Sevens) is the regional championship for women's international rugby sevens in North America and the Caribbean. The tournament is held over two days, typically on a weekend in November. It is sanctioned and sponsored by Rugby Americas North, which is the governing body for the region. Prior to 2016, it was referred to as the North America and Caribbean Women's Sevens (NACRA Women's Sevens).
History The first international sevens championship for women's teams from North America and the Caribbean was held in Barbados in 2005. The tournament was run by the North America and West Indies Rugby Association (NAWIRA), which later became the North America Caribbean Rugby Association (NACRA) before adopting its current name of Rugby Americas North in 2016. The regional 7s championships have periodically served as pre-qualifying competitions for the Rugby World Cup Sevens, the Summer Olympic Games, and other tournaments.
