Australia women's national rugby sevens team


The Australia women's national rugby sevens team were champions of the inaugural Women's Sevens World Cup in 2009. The team plays in the World Rugby Women's Sevens Series as one of the "core teams" on the world tour, of which they were crowned Champions in 2015–16. The team also played in the preceding competition to the current world series, the IRB Women's Sevens Challenge Cup. In 2016, they won the inaugural gold medal at the Rio Olympics.
As of 2015, the team also competes in the Pacific Games Sevens.

Team name

The national sevens side is known as Australia and, as confirmed by captain Sharni Williams, does not have a nickname as of 2015. The team is sometimes referred to as the Pearls in sections of the media, but that name refers to Australia's developmental sevens side that participates in domestic tournaments rather than the official national team.

Honours

In 2016 the Australian women's sevens team was named Team of the Year at the Australian Institute of Sport Performance Awards.
