The 2022 France Women's Sevens was the final rugby sevens event on the 2021–22 Women's Sevens Series. An annual Series event since 2016, it was the first event to be played since 2019 due to the impacts of COVID-19. The defending champions from the 2019 series event were the United States, whom beat New Zealand 26–10.[1]

New Zealand won in the Final against Australia 21–14.[2]
