The 2018 Oceania Sevens Championship was the eleventh Oceania Sevens in men's rugby sevens. It was held at ANZ Stadium in Suva, Fiji on 9–10 November.[1] Host nation Fiji won the tournament, defeating New Zealand by 17–12 in the final.[2]

Tonga finished fifth and, as the highest-placed side without core status on the World Rugby Sevens Series, won berths to the Sydney Sevens and Hamilton Sevens for 2019. Tonga also joined the sixth-placed Cook Islands as Oceania's representatives for the 2019 Hong Kong Sevens qualifying tournament for the 2020 World Series.[3]
