Starfire Sports in Tukwila, home of Major League Rugby’s Seattle Seawolves, will host the 2021 USA National Club Rugby 7s Tournament on August 14–15, 2021. The tournament is presented by the Washington Athletic Club, the event’s primary sponsor. The tournament will be streamed on The Rugby Network beginning at Noon ET on August 14.
The USA Club 7s Nationals began in 1985 and since then thousands of college and club players have played in qualifying events to crown a national men’s and women’s champion. Tukwila’s Starfire Sports was previously the host of the 2014 national 7s championship, the first major rugby event held in the venue.
This year, the clubs will be playing for the Men’s and Women’s Signes Cup, as well as for the Men’s Silver Cup. There are several players who have just completed their Major League Rugby season, and Premier Rugby Sevens, which kicks off their professional sevens season on October 9 in Memphis, Tennessee, will be observing this tournament and will as well at next week’s Rugbytown Sevens to sign players to professional contracts.
