The Asia Rugby Women's Sevens Series is the regional championship for women's international
rugby sevens in Asia. Initially contested as a single tournament, the championship was expanded into a two-tournament series in 2014. The competition is sanctioned and sponsored by
Asia Rugby, which is the rugby union
governing body for the region.
The first official regional 7s championship for international women's teams from Asia was held in Hong Kong, played as part of the
2000 Hong Kong Sevens
The 2000 Hong Kong Sevens was an international rugby sevens tournament that was part of the inaugural World Sevens Series, the 1999–2000 season. It was the eighth leg of the series, held on 24–26 March 2000, at the Hong Kong Stadium, Hong Kon ...
tournament. In 2003, ten international teams competed in a separate tournament for the Asia Champions Cup, with six teams progressing to the Hong Kong Women's Sevens. Since then, the regional 7s championships have periodically served as pre-qualifying competitions for the Rugby 7s World Cup, or other sevens tournaments.
Background
Rugby sevens – also known as 7-a-side, or 7s – is a short form of the sport of
rugby union
Rugby union, commonly known simply as rugby, is a close-contact team sport that originated at Rugby School in the first half of the 19th century. One of the two codes of rugby football, it is based on running with the ball in hand. In its m ...
that was first played in 1883. The first (men's) internationals took place in 1973. As
women's rugby union
Women's rugby union is a full contact team sport based on running with the ball in hand. The same laws are used in men's rugby union with the same sized pitch and same equipment. Rugby was originally a men's sport, and women's rugby has become p ...
developed in the 1960s and 1970s the format became very popular as it allowed games, and entire leagues, to be developed in countries even when player numbers were small, and it remains the main form the women's game is played in most parts of the world.
However, although the first
women's international rugby union 15-a-side test match took place in 1982, it was not until 1997 before the first
women's international 7s tournaments were played, when the
1997 Hong Kong Sevens included a women's tournament for the first time. Over the next decade the number of tournaments grew, with almost every region developing regular championship competitions. This reached its zenith with 2009's inaugural
women's tournament for the Rugby World Cup Sevens, shortly followed by the announcement that women's rugby sevens would be included in the Olympics from 2016.
Tournaments
Tournaments that have featured as ranking events in the Asia Rugby Women's Sevens include:
The continental title was contested in a single tournament from 2000 to 2012. The Asian Women's Sevens Series was introduced in 2013.
Notes:
A separate
Olympic Asian qualification series was held in 2015 with a pre-qualifying stage hosted in Chennai and final stages in Hong Kong and Tokyo.
The 2017 Asian Women's Trophy tournament was held in

The 2020 series was cancelled before any events were held, due to
impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Incheon, Huizhou and Colombo were originally scheduled as legs of the 2021 series. Due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, all three of those events were cancelled and replaced – initially by two events planned for Dubai, but eventually by just one event in Dubai.
