LA 7s & LAI
New Zealand women and South Africa men were crowned HSBC SVNS 2025 champions after securing stirring victories at the HSBC SVNS World Championship in Los Angeles.
The crowd of over 27,000, the crowd's enthusiasm, the type of crowd (young, old, very young, supporting all countries) was all a big step forward for the event.
The LAX SVNS pools and schedule are set with two days of World-Class rugby in four competitions.
Remember that eight teams in each of Men and Women will play for the World Championship. Meanwhile, eight teams in each of Men and Women will play in requalification tournaments (World Rugby is calling it the Play-Off tournament) for teams not in the top eight in the SVNS World Series.
World-class athletes are the big draw for the LA Sevens, there's more to it than that.
Thirty-two teams will be at Dignity Health Sports Park, with the two world Championship tournaments and also two requalification tournaments.
The best 7s teams in the world will be on display, and when fans want to take a break from all the action, there's a bunch of other stuff going on.
The LA Sevens is soon upon us and so is the LA Invitational, which will be held May 2 in Irvine, Calif.
One day of competition means teams can come in, play, enjoy themselves, and see the LA Sevens, which will include the World Championship SVNS tournaments for both men and women.
The U.S. Rugby Foundation’s Youth Rugby Initiative is offering a free trip to the HSBC Sevens Rugby World Championship for participants of the Youth Rugby Initiative Program.
