The World Rugby Sevens Series, known officially as the
HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series from the 2015-16 season is
an annual series of international
rugby sevens tournaments run by
World Rugby featuring national sevens teams.
Teams compete for the World Rugby Sevens Series title by accumulating points based on their finishing position in each tournament. New Zealand had originally dominated the Series, winning each of the first six titles from 1999-2000 to 2004-05, but since then, Fiji, South Africa and Samoa have each won titles.
As of the upcoming 2015–16 season, the season's circuit consists of 10 tournaments in 10 countries, and visits five of the six populated continents.
