The Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens is one of Asia’s most popular sporting events, with a spirit that comes together from all over the world to create a shared sense of community, belonging and pride.
Starting from humble beginnings in 1976, when 12 teams played in front of a curious crowd of 3,000, today the event attracts up to 50,000 visitors a day. Over the years, the Hong Kong Sevens has evolved into one of the world’s iconic sports events and a bucket-list experience for many fans, with the electric atmosphere created akin to Hong Kong’s annual Mardi Gras.
Widely regarded as the jewel in the crown of the HSBC World Rugby SVNS Series, the 3-day event combines world-class rugby and a festive atmosphere, while showcasing the world’s biggest international stars. Of the many greats to grace the local turf over the years are the "Magnificent Seven" of Jonah Lomu, Waisale Serevi, David Campese, Christian Cullen, Ben Gollings, Zhang Zhiqiang and Eric Rush.
In 2024, fans celebrated 30 years of the sevens at Hong Kong Stadium, and we look forward to seeing you in 2025 at our brand new home of Kai Tak Sports Park.
