Wikipedia - Women's SVNS
The World Rugby SVNS, known as the HSBC SVNS for sponsorship reasons, is a series of international rugby sevens tournaments for women's national teams run by World Rugby. The inaugural series was held in 2012–13 as the successor to the IRB Women's Sevens Challenge Cup held the previous season. The competition has been sponsored by banking group HSBC since 2015.
The series, the women's counterpart to the World Rugby Sevens Series, provides elite-level women's competition between rugby nations. As with the men's Sevens World Series, teams compete for the title by accumulating points based on their finishing position in each tournament.
History
The first 2012–13 series consisted of four tournaments on three continents. The first two events were hosted by the United Arab Emirates (specifically Dubai) and the United States, both of which host events in the men's version. The other two events were hosted by China and the Netherlands.
For the second series in 2013–14, five tournaments took place; a sixth had initially been announced, but never materialized. All nations that hosted events in 2012–13 hosted in the second season, with the added event hosted by Brazil.
The series expanded to six events for 2014–15. The Dubai, Brazil, USA, and Netherlands events remained on the schedule. China was not on the 2014–15 schedule. New rounds of the series were launched in Canada (specifically in Greater Victoria) and London.
Initially, the 2015–16 series was announced with only four events, with London and the Netherlands dropping from the schedule, but a fifth event was eventually added, hosted by France. Events in Australia and Japan were added in 2016–17. With the USA hosting the 2018 Rugby World Cup Sevens, the USA was not on the 2017–18 schedule.
The USA Women's Sevens returned to the schedule for the 2018–19 series, but the event was moved within the season to become the opening event. The same season saw three events move to new locations. First, the USA event moved from Las Vegas to the Denver suburb of Glendale, Colorado. The Australian Women's Sevens, as well as the country's corresponding event in the men's Sevens Series, moved within Sydney from Sydney Football Stadium to Sydney Showground Stadium. This was necessary because the Football Stadium was demolished, with an entirely new stadium to be built on the same site. Finally, the France Women's Sevens, originally set for Paris, was moved to Biarritz, with the date also being moved forward by two weeks. This change was promoted by both World Rugby and the French Rugby Federation (FFR) as "enabl[ing] the FFR to maximise the visibility, attendance and impact of hosting the final round of the record-breaking series."
The tournament follows the fast-paced and action-packed format of rugby sevens, where teams consist of seven players on each side, playing on a full-sized field. The matches are played over two seven-minute halves, demanding exceptional speed, agility, and strategic play from the athletes.
The World Sevens Women tournament attracts some of the most talented rugby players in the world, who demonstrate their exceptional abilities in tackling, passing, and evading opponents with lightning-fast footwork. The players' strength, endurance, and tactical awareness are put to the test as they compete for victory and strive to outperform their opponents.
The tournament features a round-robin format, where teams compete against each other in a series of matches to determine the top contenders. The intensity of the competition is further heightened by the knockout stages, where the best teams battle it out in thrilling quarterfinals, semifinals, and ultimately, the highly anticipated final.
The World Sevens Women tournament not only showcases the incredible sporting talent of these female athletes but also promotes inclusivity and gender equality in the world of rugby. It serves as a platform to inspire young girls and women to participate in the sport, breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes.
With its electrifying atmosphere, passionate fans, and exceptional displays of skill, the World Sevens Women tournament is a must-watch event for rugby enthusiasts and sports fans alike. It celebrates the strength, determination, and sheer brilliance of female rugby players, leaving spectators in awe of their talent and dedication to the game.
