Hong Kong Rugby Union is excited to be hosting the sevens tournament after several years of not hosting due to the COVID pandemic. 16 Men’s teams will be in action at the Hong Kong Stadium from 4-6 November and Hong Kong men are one of the invitational teams.

Hong Kong Sevens 2022 Teams
The tournament in Hong Kong is the first event on the 2023 HSBC World Sevens Series calendar for the men. Hong Kong and Japan will be representing Asia.
The confirmed teams are:
- Argentina
- Australia
- Canada
- Fiji
- France
- Great Britain
- Ireland
- Japan
- Kenya

The 2022-2023 season is of particular interest for all the teams as the year is an Olympic qualification pathway with the top four securing their spots for Paris 2024.
The HKRU has confirmed that “participating teams have been granted dispensation to bypass quarantine and enter a closed-loop hotel bubble, and they will have no contact with the general public – this has been vetted and fully sanctioned by World Rugby.
The April 2023 Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens event features both men’s and women’s Series teams.
