2019 New Zealand Women's Sevens
# 2019 New Zealand Women's Sevens

The 2019 New Zealand Women's Sevens Fast Four or Women's Fast Four was the inaugural women's sevens tournament held on 26–27 January 2019 at FMG Stadium Waikato, Hamilton alongside the 2019 New Zealand Sevens.

In August 2018, New Zealand Rugby announced the Black Ferns Sevens would play France, England and China at the Women's Fast Four. Each team played four matches a week before round three of the Sydney Women's Sevens in Sydney. Although the Black Ferns Sevens had previously played exhibition matches in New Zealand, the 2019 HSBC New Zealand Sevens was the first time the team had competed in an international tournament on home turf.

## Format

Each team played four matches in Hamilton: three matches within a round-robin format followed by a final playoff match. The top two teams met in the gold medal match, with the bottom two playing for bronze.

The women's final matches were played directly before the men’s Cup final to complete the two days of competition at the 2019 New Zealand Sevens.
