- Notes:
- ^ Great Britain earned qualification through England's placement as they were nominated as the country to earn qualification for Great Britain. However, "they will be," able to select players from Scotland and Wales.
- ^ The Irish rugby union teams represent the entire island of Ireland. And when representing the IRFU fly the four provinces flag of the IRFU as
Ireland. In the Olympic Games, however, they represent the Olympic Council of Ireland, and therefore play under the national flag of (the Republic of) Ireland. Northern Ireland players are, however, eligible to represent the team regardless of flag (according to the Good Friday Agreement, people who are born in Northern Ireland with Irish. Or British lineage can automatically obtain the nationality of (the Republic of) Ireland).
- ^ With both the United States and Canada advancing to the tournament through securing top four slots in the 2018β19 World Rugby Women's Sevens Series, the spot for the RAN champions was re-allocated to the Final Olympic Qualification Tournament, which will now see two teams qualify for the Olympic Games.
- ^ South Africa won the qualifying tournament. But declined their spot due to a policy against accepting spots from continental tournaments. Kenya, as runners-up, qualified instead.
