The Canada women's national rugby sevens team was one of six "core teams" that competed in all four rounds of the inaugural World Rugby Women's Sevens Series in 2012–13.[1] Canada competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics and won the bronze medal after defeating Great Britain 33–10.[2] At the 2020 Olympics they failed to medal and finished in 9th place.[3]

They participated at the 2021 Canada Women's Sevens in Vancouver and Edmonton. Canada finished third at both tournaments.[4][5]

At the 2024 Summer Olympics, Canada won the silver medal after coming from 0-12 behind to defeat Australia 21-12 in the semi-finals,[6] before losing the final to New Zealand 12-19.[7][8]
