The 2011 Emirates Cup of Nations was held at The Sevens Stadium in Dubai as a season ending tournament for tier 3 teams from different continents.[2] The four competing teams were hosts UAE, Asian 5 Nations rivals Hong Kong, 2011 Africa Cup champions Kenya and South American Rugby Championship A Division team Brazil.
The tournament was Brazil's first 15-a-side games outside of South America.[3]
Hong Kong won the tournament, winning all three games with a bonus point (scoring 4 or more tries in a game). Kenya finished runners-up, courtesy of a last minute win over Brazil in their opening game.
