The Great Britain men's national rugby sevens team is the men's international rugby 7s team that is the representative team of Great Britain. The team competes in the annual World Rugby Sevens Series as well as the Olympic Games and European Games. Historically, Great Britain was represented in rugby 7s by England, Scotland and Wales but the inclusion of Rugby 7s at the Olympic and European Games, together with funding issues has resulted in the formation of a permanent combined team from 2023.[1] The separate England, Scotland and Wales teams play in the Rugby World Cup Sevens and the Commonwealth Games.
After first having played at the World Games in 2001 and 2005,[2] Great Britain made their debut at the 2016 Summer Olympics, where they won the silver medal, losing the final to Fiji.
