The 2021 Oceania Sevens Championship was held in Townsville, Australia on the weekend of 25–27 June 2021.[1] The rugby sevens event was sponsored by the PacificAus Sports program (Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade),[2] and was the thirteenth Oceania Sevens tournament in men's rugby sevens.
The competition was the final official tournament for Oceania Rugby national teams ahead of the Tokyo Olympic Sevens.[3] It was played as a double round-robin format at the North Queensland Stadium, commercially known as Queensland Country Bank Stadium.[3] Fiji won the tournament undefeated, with New Zealand as runner-up.
Four men's teams competed at the 2021 tournament:[2][4]
