The 2016 Rugby Europe Women's Sevens Championships was the 2016 edition of the annual rugby sevens competition for women's national teams in Rugby Europe. The competition was split into three divisions: the Grand Prix, the Trophy and Conference 1.

In preparation for the 2016 Olympics, instead of England and Wales fielding their own teams, twenty four players from the Home Nations unions formed two united Great Britain teams for the Grand Prix.^[1]
