7s

Hong Kong Invitation Women’s Rugby 7s
Although the first Women's International Rugby Union 15-a-side test match took place in 1982, it was not until 1997 that the first Women's International Rugby Union Sevens tournament was played. This only happened when the Hong Kong Sevens included a women's tournament, under the chairwoman Maria Allen and with the encouragement from USA 7s coach Emil Signes.
