About the National Sevens Circuit
The National Sevens Circuit is a rugby sevens competition where each team fields seven players per match. It differs from the Kenya Cup, which is the main rugby union league played with 15 players per team.
The tournament consists of six rounds held across different regions. Teams earn points in each round, with the overall champion determined by the total points. The six events are Dala 7s, Driftwood 7s, Prinsloo 7s, Christie 7s, Kabeberi 7s, and Sepetuka 7s. The 2024 season featured host venues in Kisumu, Mombasa, Nakuru, Nairobi, and Eldoret.
