    The 2022–23 World Rugby Women's Sevens Series was the tenth edition of the global circuit for women's national rugby sevens teams, organised by World Rugby. New Zealand won the series at the last event in Toulouse, taking out six of the seven events on the tour to claim their seventh World Series title with Australia and the United States placing second and third, respectively. The series doubled as a qualifier for the 2024 Olympic Sevens, so those three teams along with host country France, who finished fourth in the series, and Ireland, who finished fifth, all gained direct qualifying berths for the women's tournament held in Paris in 2024.

    The core teams qualified to participate in all tournaments for 2022–23 were:

    Japan was promoted to core team status by winning the 2022 Challenger Series.[1] A combined Great Britain team replaced England as a core team for the series.
