The 2021 Oceania Women's 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 tenth Oceania Women's Sevens Championship.

The competition was the final official tournament for Oceania Rugby women's 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] New Zealand won the tournament undefeated, with Australia as runner-up.
