The New Zealand national rugby union sevens team competes in the World Sevens Series, Rugby World Cup Sevens and the Commonwealth Games.

Contents

The team has won 7 of the 8 World Sevens Series events. Since 2000 when the series first started, the only time they have not won was in 2006 when Fiji were crowned champions.

In the most recent series in 2007, it was left until the last round at Murrayfield, Edinburgh, to find out who would win. If Fiji had won their quarter-final against Wales then they would have won the series but they lost 21-14. This meant that New Zealand needed to win the final against Samoa to win the title and with a convincing six tries to one, 34-5 scoreline they were crowned champions[1].
