The 2015 NACRA Sevens Championships was an Olympic qualification tournament for Rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics held in the United States at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina on 13–14 June 2015.[1] The teams were split into two groups. The top two teams in each group advanced to the semi-finals. The winning team qualified directly to the Olympics, and the second and third placed teams advanced to the Olympic Qualification Tournament.

Pools

Note  Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was scheduled to participate in Pool A, but the contingent were denied visas to enter the United States.[2] Therefore, the field was reduced from 10 teams to 9.

Pool Stage

The ranking of each team in each group was determined as follows:

  1. higher win percentage in all group matches;
  2. points obtained in all group matches;
  3. most number of wins (including Overtime Wins) in all group matches;
  4. highest points difference in all group matches;
  5. lowest points against in all group matches;
