History

The tournament was launched in 2016 as the last stage of the annual World Rugby Women's Sevens Series, with first two editions played at the Gabriel-Montpied stadium in Clermont-Ferrand. In 2018 the event moved to Jean-Bouin stadium in Paris, bringing together the men's and women's France Sevens at the same venue in a combined tournament. However, for the 2019 edition, the French Rugby Federation and World Rugby chose to host separate men's and women's events again. This was done to improve the visibility of the women's competition as well as to avoid the possible unavailability of the Jean-Bouin stadium due to home matches hosted by the Stade Français Paris club. The 2019 France Women's Sevens was therefore relocated to

in Biarritz. The tournament would return to Paris for 2019–20 and beyond.
