The Aon Uni 7s Series is the first domestic Australian sevens competition for women, offering the nation’s rising talent the opportunity to train and play in a high performance environment to stake their claims for national selection.
The eight-team competition kicked off in 2017 and included Macquarie University, The University of Queensland, Bond University, University of Canberra, University of New England, Griffith University, University of Tasmania, and The University of Adelaide. The University of Queensland took out the inaugural series.
The series expanded to ten-teams in 2018 with the announcement that the University of Melbourne and the University of Sydney will join the competition.
The University of Sydney’s inaugural team, proudly sponsored by Buildcorp, was announced on 2 August, with Rugby Australia commenting on the level of “rugby pedigree” the University will bring to the competition.
