{{short description|Rugby tournament}}
Of the twenty-four nations involved in [[1993 Rugby World Cup Sevens]], nineteen were invited and five had to go through pre-tournament '''1993 Rugby World Cup Sevens qualifying'''. Four of the qualification places were won by Namibia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Spain who booked their places by reaching the semi-finals of one qualifying event in Sicily. Latvia won their place by beating Russia in the final of a mini-tournament staged in Moscow to decide who would replace the [[USSR]], which had broken up since its invite to the world cup.

The invited participants were Argentina, Australia, Canada, England, Fiji, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Romania, Scotland, Tonga, South Africa, South Korea, USA, Wales and Western Samoa.

==Sicily (1992)==
Seventeen nations came to [[Catania]], [[Sicily]], in May 1992 (from 29th to 31st) to battle for four qualifying spots in the finals in 1993. They were divided into three groups, five in one and six in the other two. Taiwan, Namibia, Spain and Hong Kong were the successful qualifiers after three group stages and three knockout rounds.<ref name="ur7s.com">{{cite web |title=Sevens Explosion - World Cup History Part I: Dallaglio and co sweep to inaugural win |url=http://ur7s.com/news/107 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224013455/http://ur7s.com/news/107 |archivedate=2012-02-24 |url-status=dead |accessdate=2009-06-17 }}</ref> The affair was complicated and confused. The group stages produced a situation where, by the transition from the second to the third groups, the lower ranked teams were better off losing to one another in order to face weaker opposition in stage 3. Also, the two teams with the best records leading into the quarter-finals, Namibia (played 8 won 8) and Zimbabwe (played 9 won 7, drawn 1, lost 1) ended up playing each other. Meanwhile, a Czechoslovakian side that had won just one match made it to the quarterfinals at the expense of Tunisia that had won 5 of 9.<ref name="Doppo"/>

===Group stage 3===
No team was eliminated from stage 2, just rearranged on new seedings that went into Pools H, I, L and M. These four pools of three teams each meant that each team had to play a further two matches and this process resulted in eight teams given a new seeding for the quarterfinals, with four teams eliminated, to play in the Etna Cup.

The Sicilian team were completely fresh and faced opponents who in some cases had played nine draining games. Sicily entered Sunday having played a total of two games. The final was contested by Sicily and Tunisia. Although Tunisia led by 2 points when normal time expired, the Italian referee allowed play to continue until, in the fourteenth minute of the second half, the Sicilians scored.

==Former USSR representative==
Although the Soviet Union had originally been an invited team, it had subsequently collapsed and the former constituent nations, demanded their own qualifying event. This was held in Moscow where the Latvia team, in their first ever sporting event, overcame [[Ukraine national rugby union team (sevens)|Ukraine]] and [[Kazakhstan national rugby union team (sevens)|Kazakhstan]] to reach the final where they beat Russia to claim the last place in Edinburgh.<ref name="ur7s.com"/>
