The Portugal national rugby sevens team played for the first time in 1992, at the Catania Sevens, World Cup 1993 European Qualifier. The team plays in competitions such as the World Sevens Series, the European Sevens Grand Prix Series and the Rugby World Cup Sevens. Portugal has a record of eight European titles—in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2010 and 2011—although Portugal has not made the semifinals since 2012. Pedro Leal and Gonçalo Foro are two notable sevens players.
World Rugby Sevens Series
Main article: World Rugby Sevens Series
Portugal were a core team at the World Rugby Sevens Series beginning with the 2012–13 season, but finished last among core teams in the 2015-16 World Series and were relegated. Since then, Portugal has not been in contention for promotion back to the World Series; their performance in the Rugby Europe Sevens Grand Prix has not been sufficiently strong for Portugal to reach the Hong Kong Sevens qualifying tournament.
Portugal competed at the 2024 World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series in Dubai. They finished tenth after losing to Uganda in the ninth place playoff. They finished tenth in the overall Challenger Series.
