Kenya women's national rugby sevens team plays in several tournaments including the African Women's Sevens Championship, Dubai Invitational Sevens and the Hong Kong Women's Sevens.
History In 2012, Kenya's captain Aberdeen Shikoyi died on 29 May after an injury she sustained in a match against Uganda.
Kenya qualified for the 2016 Summer Olympics by winning the 2015 Women's Africa Cup Sevens. In 2019, despite coming second at the Africa Women's Sevens, they qualified for the Tokyo Olympics because South Africa declined their regional spot.
In 2024, they competed in the World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series; they were runners-up in the first round of the series which took place in Dubai. They finished fifth overall at the 2024 Sevens Challenger Series and missed out on qualifying for the new SVNS Play-off promotion and relegation competition in Madrid.
