The Wellington Sevens or The NZI International Sevens is an annual rugby sevens tournament held in Wellington, New Zealand. The tournament, part of the IRB Sevens World Series, is played at Wellington's Westpac Stadium.

Over 30,000 supporters descend on Wellington every year for the annual event to watch over 16 international teams. The atmosphere, costumes, and great rugby has turned the Wellington Sevens into one of New Zealand's leading sports events, most of the people who go there, however are not there to watch the rugby, but to have a good time. As the event is always a sell out, with tickets selling out well in advance of the tournament.
