Mexico Qualify for 2018 Sevens World Cup

Mexico have won the 2017 Women’s Rugby Americas North Sevens. The home victory means that Mexico has qualified for the 2018 Rugby World Cup Sevens. This marks an historic first ever appearance at the event. It will be played in 2018 in San Francisco, California.

Mexico did so by defeating Trinidad & Tobago 5-0 in the final fixture of the women’s division on Sunday evening. The tournament was a round-robin format with Bermuda, Dominican Republic, French Guyana, Guyana, Jamaica, Mexico, and Trinidad & Tobago all involved.

Coached by former Canada Sevens international Robin MacDowell, Mexico were the home side and called-upon vibrant support. The grounds at the Campo Marte were approaching capacity for the event.

In winning the competition Mexico have earned the right to compete at the 2018 Hong Kong Sevens and the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Sports Organization (CACSO) Games. Second place went to French Guyana while Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago claimed third and fourth respectively.
