What is the new Emirates Rugby 7s format?

The new Rugby sevens format, officially known as the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series (SVNS), is a significant overhaul of the international sevens rugby competition, introduced in 2023. It aims to enhance the overall fan experience, promote the sport to a wider audience, and provide greater financial stability for participating teams.

Key features to know:

  • Reduced teams: The number of teams competing in the annual series has been reduced from 16 to 12 for both men's and women's competitions. This aligns with the Olympic format and aims to create a more competitive and balanced playing field.
  • Season structure: The revamped series will consist of seven rounds, with each round played in a different iconic global destination. This approach is intended to expand the series' reach and attract a broader audience.
  • Three-day festival-style events: Each round will be held over three days, transforming the event into a vibrant festival atmosphere that caters to a younger and more diverse demographic.
  • Equal pay for men and women: World Rugby has implemented equal pay for male and female players, marking a significant step towards pay parity in the sport.
  • Promotion and relegation system: A two-tier system incorporating promotion and relegation from the lower-tier Challenger Series will be introduced, providing more opportunities for aspiring teams to reach the top level.
  • Grand finale tournament: The season will culminate in a Grand Finale tournament in Madrid, Spain, where the top eight overall teams from the season will compete for the overall series title.
  • Increased focus on spectator experience: The new format aims to enhance the overall fan experience through various initiatives, including interactive fan zones, music performances, and enhanced hospitality options.
