2023–24 SVNS
The 2023–24 SVNS was the 25th annual series of rugby sevens tournaments for national sevens teams, known as the World Rugby Sevens Series. It was played between December 2023 and June 2024. The Sevens Series has been run by World Rugby since 1999.
The men's and women's tournaments were played as side-by-side events at the same destinations for the entire series, making 2023–24 the first fully combined season. The series began in Dubai and travelled across the world to Cape Town, Perth, Vancouver, Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Singapore before concluding in Madrid.
Teams and format
The number of men's teams was reduced from sixteen to twelve for the 2023–24 series, matching the number of women's teams. Canada was included as the twelfth men's team after winning the play-off in London on 21 May 2023.South Africa gained promotion as the twelfth women's team by winning the Challenger Series.
Women's teams
The series took place over seven months and included eight events, 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.Format
For the first time ever, aligning to the Olympic model, the new SVNS 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 2024–2025 season. It will also be the first time both men and women's teams will earn the same with equal participation fees. The tournament will be a build up to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.Tour venues
