The 2012 FIRA-AER Women's Sevens – Division A was a European pre-qualifying tournament for the 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens.[1] In similar fashion to the 2008 competition, Division B was cancelled and all the teams were promoted to Division A for 2012. Teams were divided into two groups with both tournaments played on the same dates in Bulgaria and Belgium. Unlike 2008, only the top two teams in both Groups were promoted to the Grand Prix Series for the final qualification phase.
