The highly anticipated Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens is set to mark the beginning of a new era at the impressive Kai Tak Stadium from 28-30 March in the fifth round of HSBC SVNS 2025.
The fifth round of HSBC SVNS will see the world’s top 12 men’s and women’s teams battling it out in front of an expected record crowd of more than 120,000 fans, as they compete for glory and vital points in the SVNS standings as the competition heats up with just two regular season rounds remaining.
The Ireland Women’s Sevens team (sponsored by TritonLake) are in 10th place, eight points behind Brazil (9th) and Fiji (8th) and they will need a big performance in Hong Kong to overhaul that lead and make the finals round. They are drawn in Pool B alongside Fiji, France and Great Britain.
The Ireland Men (sponsored by TritonLake) are in 12th place and realistically out of the running for the finals as they rebuild their squad. The men are in Pool A with series leaders Argentina, Fiji and USA.
