The two-day Men’s tournament will feature 16 nations playing 45 matches of fast-paced entertaining rugby, paired with an equally dynamic festival experience where fan participation plays an important role.

HSBC Canada Sevens is a two-day indoor rugby sevens tournament will feature 16 of the world’s top men’s sevens teams. The HSBC Canada Sevens will be the fifth stop in a ten-stop world tour as part of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series. Sevens rugby, a fast-paced and shorter version of traditional rugby with only seven players per side, has built a huge international audience through the success of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, which attracts large audiences in markets around the world.

Tournament passes provide access to all 45 games over the course of the two day festival, and can be purchased online via Ticketmaster, or by contacting Ticket Master at 1-855-985-5000. Tickets are currently being sold as 2-day Tournament Passes only. Single day tickets will be released on Tuesday, November 17th, pending availability.

Win Tickets to HSBC Canada Sevens Rugby

Just in time for Halloween — what would rugby and Halloween have in common? you might wonder — I’m giving away a Canada Rugby Sevens prize pack. You see a big part of the tournament, I’ve come to learn, is dressing up as it hosts a carnival atmosphere where fan wears either fancy dress or a costume of some kind. Groups of fans dress in themed costumes and sometimes host cities have their own themes (like monsters or galactic) to inspire fans.

So while you’re thinking about your Halloween costume, also look ahead to Canada Rugby Sevens in March. That will be even easier to do if you win my prize pack! It includes: 2 tournament passes, costumes for you to wear to the tournament (winner + guest), and some Canada Sevens branded merchandise.

Here’s how you can enter to win:

  • Leave a comment naming what kind of costume you might wear to the tournament should you win these contest tickets (1 entry)
  • Post the following on Twitter (1 entry)
