In October 2012, the Netherlands was announced by the International Rugby Board as one of six "core teams" that will compete in all four rounds of the inaugural IRB Women's Sevens World Series in 2012–13.

It was later decided that the quarter-finalists at the 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens would make up the eight core teams for the next series later that year.

In the 2013–14 IRB Women's Sevens World Series they competed in only three tournaments, with a best results of 8th at São Paulo.

The 2014–15 World Rugby Women's Sevens Series would double as an Olympics qualifier for Rio 2016.
