Get ready, rugby fans, for the ultimate weekend of fast-paced action, thrilling rugby, and festival fun at the HSBC Cape Town Sevens 2025! This iconic event takes place at DHL Stadium, one of South Africa’s premier sports venues, in December. Cape Town Sevens is not only a top-tier rugby event but also a full-blown celebration of the sport, culture, and festive vibes that make this city the perfect destination for fans. Whether you’re cheering for the Blitzboks or your favourite international team, the Cape Town Sevens is guaranteed to be an unforgettable experience.
The current event has moved around, having taken place in Durban, George and Port Elizabeth before coming to Cape Town. It is a widely popular rugby competition with both the ‘Blitzbokke’- as our team is fondly known – and South African fans.
With only seven players on the field per team at any one time, the action is fast and furious, with many excellent displays of skill, perseverance and speed. The Cape Town Stadium, where the event is taking place, is ideal for spectators as each angle delivers fantastic views. Many fans come dressed to the nines; wigs, full dress up and vuvuzelas are commonplace.

Take a read of what you can expect at Cape Town 7s:
From the busy waterfront to the mountains, forests, beaches and vineyards, Cape Town’s bounty of things to see and do can be overwhelming, even for the most seasoned travellers. Start with a visit to the V&A Waterfront, the most visited tourist attraction in South Africa featuring world-class shopping, excellent dining and entertaining nightlife. Take a stroll along the Sea Point Promenade to the Green Point Urban Park, which showcases some spectacular public artworks. Alternatively, tackle one of Cape Town’s many hiking trails – Newlands Forest offers a leisurely wander while Lion’s Head poses more of a challenge. As far as mountains go, no trip to Cape Town would be complete without riding the cable car to the top of Table Mountain to soak up the views from one of the New 7th Wonders of the World. Depending on your timeframe, explore the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, go pub-hopping down Long Street or go wine tasting in the Winelands (or, closer to the city, the Constantia Wine Route).
