France Sevens, currently hosted as the Paris Sevens, is an annual international rugby sevens tournament. The event forms part of the Sevens World Series and was hosted in Bordeaux in 2004. France has also hosted tournaments within the Sevens Grand Prix Series, at Lyon.
History
From 1996 to 1999 the tournament was known as the Air France Sevens, and in the year 2000 it was part of the inaugural IRB Sevens World Series.
The IRB hosted the tournament at Bordeaux in 2004, before returning to Paris for 2005 and 2006. The event was effectively replaced in the World Sevens Series by the Scotland Sevens at Edinburgh for the 2006-07 season.
Between 2011 and 2015, Lyon hosted a leg of the European circuit, the Sevens Grand Prix Series.
The Sevens World Series returned to France for the 2015-16 season, with the revival of the Paris Sevens tournament in 2016.
