Seven's Europe Series Women - Portugal (EU) 2023/24

The Rugby Europe Women's Sevens Championship operates as the premier continental rugby sevens competition for women in Europe. Organized by Rugby Europe, the series provides a competitive stage for national teams across the continent. The tournament structure comprises two legs held during the summer months. Participants earn points based on their finishing position in each leg, with victory awarding twenty points and lower placements receiving diminishing values down to a single point. The team accumulating the highest total score after both legs claims the overall championship title.

Participation involves several European nations, including Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Great Britain, and Ireland. The competition functions within a hierarchical system where it sits above the second-tier Rugby Europe Women's Sevens Trophy. This tiering includes mechanisms for movement between divisions: the lowest-ranked teams in the Championship are relegated to the Trophy, while the leading teams from the lower division earn promotion to the Championship for the subsequent season. This structure offers a clear pathway for teams to progress within the European rugby sevens landscape.

The series serves as a regional alternative to the global HSBC SVNS, providing a dedicated platform for European development. It also facilitates qualification routes for the World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series, creating opportunities for teams outside the core global series to compete at a higher level. The event has evolved since its inception, marking a significant period for women's rugby sevens in Europe. Teams compete for regional prestige and the potential for advancement through the structured league format.

Historical success within the competition has varied over time. France emerged as a dominant force in recent years, securing the overall series title in consecutive seasons. Other nations have also achieved top standings, with Great Britain claiming victory in 2025 and Poland winning the overall series points in 2026. These results highlight the competitive nature of the tournament and the shifting balance of power among participating nations.
