History

Uganda has previously participated in the 2009 Rugby World Cup Sevens for the inaugural women's tournament.[1] Former coach, Helen Buteme, was one of the players in the 2009 squad.[2]

Uganda competed at the 2019 Africa Women's Sevens which also served as an automatic Olympic qualification tournament for the winner. They finished in 5th place.[3] The Lady Cranes attended the 2021 Safari Sevens.[4][5] In 2024, they participated in the World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series; they placed fourth in the first round of the series which took place in Dubai.[6][7] They finished sixth overall at the 2024 Sevens Challenger Series and missed out on qualifying for the new SVNS Play-off promotion and relegation tournament in Madrid.[8]
