The NACRA Sevens is an international rugby sevens competition organised by North America Caribbean Rugby Association (formerly known as NAWIRA). It has been held annually since 2005.
The NACRA 7s competition, periodically serves as the regional qualifying competition for the Rugby Sevens World Cup and the Olympic sevens. In the early years of the competition, the Band 1 teams from North America Oceania teams (Canada and the United States) did not always participate or only sent representative sides outside of tournaments for World Cup qualification (e.g., 2012) or Olympic qualification (e.g. 2015).[1]
