Hawick Sevens is an annual rugby sevens event held by Hawick RFC, in Hawick, Scotland. The Hawick Sevens tournament started in 1886 and is the third extant oldest Sevens tournament in the world; behind Melrose Sevens (1883) and Gala Sevens (1884).[1]
Usually held around the end of every April, the tournament is part of the Kings of the Sevens competition. 2019's Hawick Sevens took place on the 20 April.[2] The final was won by Boroughmuir.[3]
For the 2019–20 season the tournament will instead move to an August fixture.[4] This was played on 10 August 2019.[5] No tournament was held for 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic. The 2021–22 season event was won by Melrose.
The disassociated Hawick & Wilton Sevens started in 1885. These were run by Hawick and Wilton RFC - a cricket club that branched out to rugby union and was the progenitor of the Hawick RFC club - on separate dates from the Hawick Sevens tournament. Confusingly it shared similar winners to the Hawick Sevens before the rugby union arm shortly folded on the success of its progeny. Hawick & Wilton now remains as a cricket club.[6]
