The 2019 France Women's Sevens is the final tournament within the 2018–19 World Rugby Women's Sevens Series and the fourth edition of the France Women's Sevens. For the first time in the tournament's history, it is held over the weekend of 15–16 June 2019 at Parc des Sports Aguiléra in Biarritz.[1] With New Zealand already qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics, and the United States only needing to field a team to become eligible, the remaining two slots shall be determined over the weekend based upon overall series ranking.
