The 2001 Hong Kong Women's Sevens was the fourth edition of the tournament and was held on 28–30 March. New Zealand won the tournament after defeating the United States 22–10.[1][2]

Additional information

The tournament also incorporated an Asian Group with Kazakhstan, Hong Kong and Japan also playing in the main competition. It is possible that the first matches for the Asian teams were knockout to see who would proceed into both the Asian Semi-finals and the main competition but this is not confirmed. If this is the case China did not play a knockout game but went on to win the Asian sub group and claim a place in the semi-finals.
