CAPE FEAR 7s (USA)

The Cape Fear sevens, always played the first week in July, coinciding with the 4th of July festivities, is one of the most traditional tournaments in the East Coast.

Won by English teams Bristol, Harlequins and Bedford in 1984, 1986 and 1991, the Cape Fear tournament is a good option for traveling teams looking for good rugby next to the beautiful beaches in North Carolina.

In 2005, OMBAC, from San Diego (California) was the first team from the west coast to win the tournament.

NOVA (from Northern Virginia), US Sevens Champions in 1986, has won the tournament seven times. The founding fathers of NOVA, the Duck Brothers, won the tournament five times in the 80s.

Maryland Old Boys (now Maryland Exiles) is the only team to win Cape Fear and the US Nationals, the same year, in 1989.
