PRESENT: Heidelberg Sevens 20.&21. June 2020 International sevens rugby Juniors U16 & Girls U18 2020 1995
25 Years Heidelberg Sevens – come and celebrate with us! It all started in 1995 when the first Heidelberg Sevens for 10 men's teams was held on pitch of the Heidelberger Ruderklub. One of the highlights in the history of the tournament was the qualification for the third Rugby World Cup in sevens rugby 2001 in Argentina. This took place in Heidelberg on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the German Rugby Association (DRV) at Whitsun 2000 and was won by Wales, ahead of Georgia, Ireland, Denmark and Germany. It was followed by the final tournament of the 1st European Championship for sevens rugby in 2002 and further European Championship tournaments in 2003, 2007 and 2011, in which Portugal and Germany scored memorable victories. In the meantime, Heidelberg Sevens has been become one of the largest international youth tournament for sevens rugby. In past tournaments, we have welcomed teams from Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, England, France, Israel, Italy, Latvia, Luxemburg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Scotland, Switzerland and of course German regional teams. For 2020, we are again keen to welcome many international teams, in both male and female categories. Our tournament has maintained a continuous level of sporting excellence over the years. We pride ourselves on the fact that as well as being a model of sporting excellence, the tournament is an opportunity for 240 youngsters from a diverse range of cultural, ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds to come together off the field, mix with one another, and enjoy the unique experience of a weekend in Heidelberg.
