The United States won the first tournament, held at Estadio Ciudad in Málaga from 21–23 January, defeating Russia in the final by 35–10.^[3] The second tournament, held from 28–30 January at Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville, was won by series-leader Australia, with a score of 17–12 over first-time cup finalist Ireland.^[4]

The twelve teams are drawn into three pools of four. Each team will play their other three opponents in their pool once. The top two teams from each pool advance to the Cup bracket, with the two best third-placed teams also advancing. The remaining four teams will compete for a 9th–12th placing.

The twelve national women's teams competing in Spain were:

 • England, who were represented by Great Britain for the first two tournaments of the 2021–22 Series, returned to compete as a separate national union for the remainder of the series.^[5]

 • Poland was invited to participate for the first time in a World Sevens Series.^[6]

 • Belgium was also invited to participate for the first time in a World Sevens Series, replacing New Zealand who were unable to travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[1]

 • Fiji did not compete in Spain. The team withdrew from both tournaments after members of their squad tested positive for COVID-19.^[7] However, Fiji was not replaced in the draw for Málaga.^[1] Their matches were recorded as 0–0 byes and their opponents awarded wins automatically via walkover. As such, despite not playing, Fiji was placed twelfth in Málaga and received one point toward their season standings from the event.^[8]

 • Portugal was invited to participate in Seville, replacing Fiji.
