The 2021 Asia Rugby Sevens Series was a rugby sevens tournament held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in late November 2021.[1] Following the cancellation of the 2020 series due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was the twelfth edition of Asia's continental sevens circuit. The event acted as a qualifier for the 2022 World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series in Chile and the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens in South Africa. Hong Kong and South Korea qualified for both events.[2][3]
Incheon, Huizhou and Colombo were originally scheduled as legs of the 2021 series,[4] but all were eventually cancelled due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and replaced by two events in the United Arab Emirates.[1][5] This was eventually changed again to a single sevens event held in Dubai.
