Silicon Valley 7's, which will bring some of the world's great participants in the Olympic sport of Rugby Sevens to the Bay Area for this special event, is set for Saturday, November 4 and Sunday, November 5 at Avaya Stadium in San Jose. United World Sports is the owner and operator of the largest annual rugby events in the United States.
Among the 12 teams competing in this debut tournament are the men's sevens squads from Tonga, Samoa and Fiji, a trio of Pacific Island national teams competing in the same tournament for the first time since the 2007 USA Sevens. Also featured is the men's sevens squad from Ireland, the first time that the squad will ever compete in the United States. Joining them are teams from the United States, Canada, Australia, England, Chile, New Zealand, Japan and China, coming together at the Silicon Valley 7s as they begin preparations for 2018 international rugby sevens season.
Silicon Valley 7s adds another international tournament to United World Sports' growing portfolio that includes the annual USA Sevens Rugby tournament in Las Vegas, which is the largest professional rugby event in North America; the annual Penn Mutual Collegiate Rugby Championship in Philadelphia, the premier collegiate 7s championship; and the Penn Mutual Varsity Cup Championship, the 15s national rugby championship.
Avaya Stadium, which opened in February 2015, has a capacity of approximately 18,000 and is the home field for Major League Soccer's San Jose Earthquakes. United World Sports has also partnered with the City of San Jose, the San Jose Sports Authority and the Fairmont Hotel, which will serve as the official partner and team hotel.
In addition to 34 international men's matches, the event will feature 20 collegiate matches, an international cultural festival, along with an Island concert series.
