The 2024 RAN Sevens is a North American rugby sevens tournament that took place at the Larry Gomes Stadium in Trinidad and Tobago from 22 to 24 November 2024.[1][2] Canada won the tournament and qualified for the 2025 Challenger Series. Canada and Trinidad and Tobago qualified their respective U20s teams for the 2025 Junior Pan American Games in Asunción, Paraguay.[3][4]

Format

Teams played each other in their respective pools in a round-robin.[3] No extra time was given during the pool stage.[3] Teams in Tier 1 played in a Cup quarter-final, the losers advanced to a Plate semi-finals and the winners progressed to the Cup semi-finals, and then to the final or third-place matches.[3] Tier 2 had a semi-final, a final and a third-place match.

The winner of the tournament qualifies for the 2025 Challenger Series.[1][3] The top two teams, excluding Canada who is pre-qualified, will also qualify their countries for the 2025 Junior Pan American Games in Paraguay.[1][3] The winner of Tier 2 will be promoted to the Tier 1 tournament in 2025 in a promotion-relegation format if they are a full member Union of Rugby Americas North.
