World Rugby SVNS Series

In 2023 World Rugby re-branded the now legacy World Sevens series to a new World Rugby SVNS Series (known for sponsorship reasons as the HSBC SVNS). Starting in December 2023 in Dubai, Cape Town, Perth, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Singapore and will conclude in Madrid in June 2024. The new series will fully combine the men's and women's tours aligning with the Olympic competition model, with both taking place on the same weekends in the same cities and venues. Both men and women's teams will earn the same with equal participation fees. The tournament is built around the idea of bringing about a festival type atmosphere and serve as a build up to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

Format
The new format will showcase the twelve best men's and women's teams, which will conclude in a Grand Final weekend where the top eight teams will compete to be crowned Series champions. The teams ranked ninth to twelfth will compete against the top four teams from a new Challenger Series in a relegation play-off to see who secures their place in the following season.

Host Cities
Eight cities were announced to host tournaments across the inaugural season. With the exception Perth and Madrid, six of the cities were on the legacy World Series circuit. In July 2023, it was announced that Madrid will be the host city for The Grand Final weekend for the next three seasons.
