Rugby Sevens is a variant of rugby union in which teams are made up of seven players instead of the traditional fifteen. The game is played on a standard rugby field, and matches consist of two halves of seven minutes each, with a brief halftime interval.

Rugby Sevens is characterized by its fast-paced and dynamic style of play, emphasizing speed, agility, and open-field tactics. The reduced number of players results in more space on the field, which leads to more scoring opportunities and exciting plays. It is played both at amateur and professional levels, and its popularity has surged globally, especially with its inclusion in the Olympic Games starting in 2016.

Tournaments are often held in a series format, with teams accumulating points over multiple events, culminating in a season champion. Rugby Sevens also has distinct rules, such as the non-contestable kick-off and a simplified penalty system, which contribute to the game’s quick tempo and style.
