Argentina won the Cup final, their third tournament victory for the season, by defeating Fiji 35–14.
The competition format used in London was different to all previous events in the season as only twelve teams instead of sixteen were eligible to compete for the tournament cup. The other four teams competed for the one remaining core team berth for the following season with the unsuccessful sides losing core team status.
Canada won the play-off to retain core team status for 2023–24, defeating Kenya by 12–7.
