The 2025 HSBC SVNS season will wrap up May 3-4 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, Calif., where the champions will be crowned at the 2028 Olympic rugby sevens venue.
The championship round of the elite rugby sevens competition will follow a stop in Singapore, World Rugby announced Monday.
The Canadian women return, energized by their silver-medal performance this summer at the Paris Olympics. They finished fifth overall last season on the HSBC SVNS circuit. Kenya and Uruguay join the men's field this season, with Samoa also relegated. The China women also won promotion, replacing South Africa.
The Canada men survived a relegation battle in 2023, defeating Kenya 12-7 to preserve their core status.
