The 2022 London Sevens was the twentieth edition of the annual rugby sevens event held at Twickenham Stadium, Richmond, London.
The tournament winners were Australia. Australia won their second London Sevens event, beating trans-tasman rivals New Zealand in a thrilling extra-time victory (19–14). Two-time back-to-back defending champions Fiji finished third, beating Pacific Island neighbours Samoa 31–26.{{cite web |url=https://www.world.rugby/sevens-series/news/719065 |title=Australia earn stunning gold in London as HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series title race goes down to the wire |date=29 May 2022 |website=world.rugby |publisher=World Rugby |access-date= |quote= |archive-date=26 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220826092506/https://www.world.rugby/sevens-series/news/719065 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://www.world.rugby/news/720393/i-couldnt-be-prouder-nick-malouf-on-australias-historic-win-in-hsbc-london-sevens |title="I couldn't be prouder" – Nick Malouf on Australia's historic win in HSBC London Sevens |date=30 May 2022 |website= |publisher=World Rugby |access-date= |quote= |archive-date=26 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220826092502/https://www.world.rugby/news/720393/i-couldnt-be-prouder-nick-malouf-on-australias-historic-win-in-hsbc-london-sevens |url-status=live }}
The final victory was the first Sevens Series Australia has won since their home Sevens Series win in 2018 ({{ayd|28 January 2018|29 May 2022}}). Following the event Australia jumped from third to second on the Sevens Series ladder. Similarly New Zealand jumped two places following their second-place finish (eleventh to ninth).{{cite web |url=https://www.world.rugby/sevens-series/standings/mens |title=HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series Standings |date=26 May 2022 |website= |publisher=World Rugby |access-date= |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220526130928/https://www.world.rugby/sevens-series/standings/mens |archive-date=26 May 2022 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=https://www.world.rugby/sevens-series/standings/mens |title=HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series Stadnings |website=world.rugby |publisher=World Rugby |access-date= |quote= |archive-date=2023-05-23 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20230523130811/https://www.world.rugby/sevens-series/standings/mens |url-status=live }}
In World Rugby Sevens Series history, the second-last event of the series has been almost futile regarding seasonal points that the teams are vying for as most teams' points accrued in the second-last event would not affect their overall standing. However, during the 2021–22 season, the season standings pre- and post-London Sevens have been the most competitive since the establishment of the Sevens Series, with just eight points separating the top three teams (two points between the top two) before the tournament and six points after it. By the final event, there are mathematically four teams capable of taking the 2021–22 World Rugby Sevens Series title.{{cite web |url=https://www.world.rugby/sevens-series/news/742170/four-teams-aim-to-win-the-sevens-series-title-in-la |title=Four teams aiming to win Sevens Series title in LA |date=26 August 2022 |website= |publisher=World Rugby |access-date= |quote= |archive-date=26 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220826092504/https://www.world.rugby/sevens-series/news/742170/four-teams-aim-to-win-the-sevens-series-title-in-la |url-status=live }}
Format
The sixteen teams were drawn into four pools of four. Each team played the three opponents in their pool once. The top two teams from each pool advanced to the Cup bracket, with the losers of the quarterfinals vying for a fifth-place finish.
