History
(Source: US Women's Rugby Foundation and USA Rugby)
In 1996 the first assembly of a National Women's 7s team was formed. Emil Signes held tryouts to pick a team to compete in the first Women's International 7s tournament to be held during the Hong Kong 7s event. The team competed under the name ‘Atlantis’, the National 7s program created by Emil, and finished their tour undefeated. Many of these players went on to compete for the USA Women's 7s Team in the Hong Kong 7s Women's Division.
Under head coach Ric Suggit, the Eagles placed third at the 2013 Women's Sevens World Cup in Russia. They defeated Spain 10–5 in their final match, with tries coming from Emilie Bydwell and Vanesha McGee.
In June 2019, the Eagles became just the fifth team to have won a World Series tournament, joining New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and England. In that same season, the Americans finished second in the overall standings, securing both their highest finish to date and automatic qualification to the 2020 Olympic Games.
