The 2019–20 World Rugby Women's Sevens Series is the eighth edition of the global circuit for women's national rugby sevens teams, organised by World Rugby.

In March 2020, World Rugby postponed all remaining tournaments in the series due to the coronavirus pandemic.[1] The events in Langford and Paris were postponed provisionally until September,[2] preceding the Hong Kong event previously postponed until October.[3]
