Trinidad and Tobago (TT) is set to host the 2025 Rugby Americas North (RAN) Annual Senior Sevens tournament from November 21-23 at the Larry Gomes Stadium in Malabar. This marks the second consecutive year TT has been granted hosting rights under a three-year allocation bid. The event will feature 15 countries competing across men’s and women’s categories, with TT aiming to build on their 2024 performances. Last year, the TT men’s team reached the final but were defeated 38-0 by Canada, securing a runner-up finish that earned them a spot in the 2025 Junior Pan American Games. The women’s ‘A’ team placed third, while the ‘B’ team finished fifth. Mexico claimed the women’s title with a 19-12 victory over Jamaica. This year’s tournament will see a six-team women’s competition, including newcomers Bermuda and Guyana, alongside Barbados, Jamaica, Mexico, and hosts TT. The men’s tier one category will feature eight teams, with Barbados, Bermuda, Canada, Cayman Islands, Guyana, Jamaica, and Mexico joining TT. The tier two men’s competition will include Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Curacao, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Turks and Caicos Islands. Winners of the men’s tier one and women’s categories will qualify for the SVNS pathway, part of World Rugby’s HSBC SVNS model. Additionally, the top three men’s tier one teams (excluding Canada) and the top two women’s teams will secure spots in the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games in the Dominican Republic. The tier two men’s winner will also have a promotion opportunity, provided they are a full RAN member union. The tournament will feature pool and knockout stages for men’s tier one, while tier two and women’s categories will adopt a round-robin format.
