Format
The World Cup qualification process doubled as a new two-year format for the Rugby Africa Cup.
Qualifying began with a round robin repechage tournament between Burkina Faso, Cameroon, and Burundi (the three lowest ranked teams at the time in Africa). The winner of this tournament advanced to the next round - Africa Cup 2021.
The second stage saw the remaining 12 teams divided into 4 groups of 3 where they played a single round-robin tournament to decide the pool winners. The top-2 teams after this round then progressed to the final stage of the African Qualification process, with seeding determining who played who in a knock-out competition in 2022.
Round 3 saw a phased knock-out competition; consisting of 4 quarter-finals, 2 semi-finals and a final, with the winner of the final qualifying as Africa 1. The runner-up advanced to the final Qualification Tournament as Africa 2.[2]
Entrants
Fourteen participants entered the Africa qualifiers in a bid to join South Africa (already qualified due to top 3 finish in the pool stages in 2019) at the 2023 Rugby World Cup. Three teams begin play in Round 1, with eleven more in Round 2. The same seeding from the cancelled 2019–20 Rugby Africa Cup is used for the group stage.
