The 1999–2000 IRB Sevens World Series, was the first of an annual series of rugby union sevens tournaments for full national sides run by the International Rugby Board
Sevens is a stripped-down version of rugby union, with seven players on each side rather than fifteen. Games are much shorter, seven or ten minutes each half, and tend to be very fast-paced, open affairs. Sevens is traditionally played in a two-day tournament format.
