Guyana’s men and women will both have a shot at reaching the 2027 Pan American Games when the Rugby Americas North Sevens takes place in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, on November 28 and 29. Two berths are available in Men’s Tier 1 and one in the women’s division for the rugby sevens competition in Lima, Peru, on July 24 and 25, 2027.
Barbados, Bermuda, Jamaica and hosts Trinidad and Tobago will face Guyana in both divisions. Mexico completes the Men’s Tier 1 line-up, while Saint Lucia rounds out the women’s field.
Across the two days, 18 teams will play 54 matches in three divisions. Each six-team group will start with a round robin that determines the seedings for day two.
Before heading to Trinidad, the Green Machine will get competitive minutes as players represent their clubs at the 2026 Brava Rugby 7s Cup. The Guyana Rugby Union will stage the tournament on Saturday, November 14, at the National Park Rugby Field. Play starts at 2:30 p.m. and runs into the night. Spectators can enter via Thomas Lands.
Young Hornets Rugby Club and Panthers Rugby Club join the Police Falcons and Guyana Defence Force in the men’s field. The women’s competition features the Lady Falcons and Guyana Defence Force.
Defending champions Canada’s men and Mexico’s women will spend the same weekend in Dubai, bidding for a place in the three-tournament HSBC SVNS 2 series through HSBC SVNS 3.
