The Asia Rugby (AR) Under-18 Girls seven-a-side rugby tournament will be conducted on 18 and 19 September in Uzbekistan by the Uzbekistan Rugby Federation (URF).

This will be the first tournament after two years with COVID halting all sports around the globe. Five teams will lock horns in the event, which will be conducted in a group format. Afterwards, the top four teams will advance to the semi-final encounters on the final day.

The initial tournament of the Under-18 Girls seven-a-side event took place in the Asian Region in Dubai during 2016.

Sri Lankan former leading referee and World Rugby Educator Dilroy Fernando was selected as the Referee Manager for this event by AR.
