The Singapore Sevens is an annual rugby sevens tournament contested by national teams. It was first hosted as part of the IRB World Sevens Seriesin2002.[1] The Standard Chartered Bank was the original title sponsor. It was effectively replaced in the calendar by the Australian Sevens for the 2006-07 season.
The tournament returned as an official event within the Asian Sevens Series in 2013. Singapore then secured a four-year deal to host a leg of the Sevens World Series starting from the 2015–16 season.[2][3] Singapore's rights to host a leg of the Sevens World Series was extended for a further four years until 2023,[4] before the 2020 event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
The tournament in Singapore was cancelled again in 2021 due to ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic [6] to protect the health and safety of players, fans, and staff.[7]
Rugby sevens returned in 2022, the ninth time that the Sevens World Series was hosted in Singapore, when Fiji defeated New Zealand to win their third Singapore Sevens title.[8]
In 2024, the Singapore Sevens saw its first women's tournament, with New Zealand taking the title.
