Qualification for the men's rugby sevens tournament at the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics took place from November 2022 to June 2024, selecting twelve teams. All six World Rugby zones were to have a continental rugby sevens representative in the tournament.[1] The host nation France reserved a direct quota place, with the remainder of the quota attributed to the eligible National Olympic Committee (NOCs) across three qualifying routes.[1]
The top four teams from the 2022–23 World Rugby Sevens Series secured Paris 2024 spots for their respective NOC. Then, six further places were awarded to each of the six confederations (Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, North America, and South America) at their designated 2023 World Rugby Regional Association Olympic Qualification Tournaments.[1] The remaining berth in the twelve-team field went to the winner of the 2024 Final Olympic Qualification Tournament, scheduled a month before the Games.[1][2][3]
