The 2023–24 SVNS was the 25th annual series of rugby sevens tournaments for national sevens teams, known as the World Rugby Sevens Series (SVNS). It took place between December 2023 and June 2024.[1] The Sevens Series has been run by World Rugby since 1999.

Teams and format

[edit]

The total number of teams for the 2023–24 Sevens Series was reduced from sixteen to twelve, similar to the Women's series.[1] Canada men won the Promotion/Relegation play-off in London on 21 May 2023,[2] and thus make up the twelfth team and South Africa women were promoted from the Challenger Series.

The tournament takes place over seven months and consists of eight events,[3] with the final event holding the top eight-placed teams in a Grand Final event. The teams placed between nine–twelve will compete in a promotion/relegation-style event with other teams to decide which stay as core teams.[1][4]
