Rugby sevens at the 2014 Commonwealth Games was the fifth time in the competition's history that the event took place. The tournament's preliminaries took place on 26 July, with the classification matches, quarter finals, semi finals and medal matches the following day. The venue for the competition was Ibrox Stadium. South Africa beat the reigning champions New Zealand in the final on 27 July, beating their opponents 17-12. It was the first time that New Zealand had been beaten in any game since the inception of rugby sevens at the Commonwealth Games in 1998, ending their 30 match win streak and marking the first time any other nation had won the competition.
171,000 people attended the two-day competition, a record for the sport.
The full pools and fixtures for the event were announced on 18 February 2014.
Nigeria were originally announced as one of the sixteen teams, but shortly after the team was withdrawn from the rugby competition and replaced by Barbados.
