Fiji's Waisale Serevi at Wellington in 2007.

The New Zealand Sevens was an annual rugby sevens tournament held at Waikato Stadium in Hamilton, New Zealand.[1][2] For the first eighteen years of its history the event was held in Wellington.[1][3] The event was the third on the World Rugby Sevens Series circuit and is generally held in late January or early February.

History[edit]

Wellington[edit]

Wellington first hosted a tournament in 2000 as part of the inaugural Sevens World Series. The event was the first to be held in the newly-developed Westpac Stadium.[4] The tournament built a reputation for a party atmosphere, with a large proportion of attendees choosing to wear fancy dress.[5] Movie figures such as the Men in Black (MIB) and Austin Powers were crowd favorites and an impersonator of Austin Powers was a regular for many years performing for the crowd.[4] Host team New Zealand dominated the sevens competition in Wellington, winning just over half of all the tournaments held.

Hamilton[edit]

The location of the tournament was moved to Hamilton in 2018,[3] after attendances in Wellington had declined.[6] The tournament was hosted as part of an integrated men's and women's event from 2019.[7] Discussion was also begun on alternating the host location of the tournament between Hamilton and Suva, in Fiji, following the 2020 edition.[8][9]
