Featuring seven iconic global destinations culminating with the SVNS World Championship in Los Angeles, the penultimate round will be in Singapore where the SVNS league winners will be crowned.

The world’s best 12 men’s and women’s teams will showcase their incredible speed, astounding skills, and indomitable strength once again in the HSBC SVNS 2025.

Singapore and Los Angeles have been added to the five previously confirmed destinations, meaning SVNS 2025 will feature seven rounds played across seven months culminating with the SVNS World Championships taking place at Dignity Health Sports Park, the LA 2028 Olympic venue.

As in previous years, SVNS 2025 will kick off with a blockbuster event at the Sevens Stadium in Dubai, which will host the first round on November 30 to December 1, 2024.

All 24 teams then move on to the Cape Town Stadium for the second round on December 7 – 8 2024, where home fans will have the opportunity to cheer their Olympic medal-winning men’s team on home soil.

Following Perth’s highly successful debut as SVNS hosts in 2024 that saw a sell-out crowd for finals day, the celebrations will return to Australia’s west coast for the third round of HSBC SVNS 2025 on January 24 – 25, 2025 at Perth Rectangular Stadium.

Vancouver then welcomes the SVNS for the fourth round on February 21 – 23 under the roof of the atmospheric BC Place. The fan-favorite HSBC Hong Kong Sevens is confirmed to take place on March 28 – 30 as the first official event at the new Kai Tak stadium, and the fifth round of SVNS 2025.

The National Stadium in Singapore will host the sixth round on April 5 – 6 with pre-sale tickets available from Monday, November 11.

The SVNS League Winners – the team with the most cumulative points from the first six rounds – will be decided here.

The top eight men’s and women’s teams at the end of the Singapore event will head into the winner-takes-all World Championship, taking place for the first time in Los Angeles on May 3 – 4 at Dignity Health Sports Park, the LA 2028 Olympics venue.

LA will also play host to the high-stakes promotion and relegation play-off competition that sees the top four men’s and women’s teams from the HSBC Sevens Challenger join the bottom-four ranked teams in the SVNS standings at the end of the sixth round in Singapore to fight for the highly coveted places in future SVNS.

Olympic champions France will be looking to retain their SVNS Champions crown in Los Angeles after they defeated SVNS league winners Argentina to claim the inaugural men’s title in 2024.

New Zealand’s women’s won their second successive Olympic title in Paris and will be aiming to reclaim the SVNS Champions title they lost to Australia at the 2024 Grand Final.

Fans in Cape Town, Vancouver, and Los Angeles will have the opportunity to cheer their Olympic medal-winning heroes on home turf after South Africa’s men, and Canada and the USA women all reached the podium in Paris.

In what is sure to be another record-breaking year for women’s rugby, HSBC SVNS will again fully embrace gender parity with men’s and women’s teams receiving equal participation fees.

To ensure an equal platform for all players, all seven rounds will feature combined men’s and women’s events for all players to showcase their talents on the biggest stages across the globe.

HSBC 2025 will welcome three new teams as Kenya and Uruguay men and China women join the top level of global rugby sevens following their promotion from the HSBC Sevens Challenger with their victories at the 2024 promotion and relegation play-off in Madrid.

 

The women’s SVNS 2025 participating teams are New Zealand, Australia, France, USA, Canada, Fiji, Ireland, Great Britain, Japan, Brazil, Spain and China.
