History

Held every April, the tournament is part of the Kings of the Sevens competition, and has attracted teams from as far afield as Japan, Hong Kong, Uruguay and South Africa.

From 2018 the playing time in the final was cut from twenty minutes to fourteen minutes which is in line with the standard match time.[citation needed]

In September 2019 the organisers had set out plans for the Melrose Sevens to relaunch as a four-day festival of music and rugby.[4] The 2020 event was however postponed and eventually cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.[5] There was no event held in 2021 due to the pandemic.[6]

Media coverage

Domestically, the tournament is broadcast live on YouTube and locally, from the first tie right through to the final, on Borders Rugby Radio
