The Kiama sevens is the longest running and largest competition of its type in Australia. It began in 1973 as a method of providing a form of fast moving and entertaining football while maintaining a relatively social atmosphere amongst platers and supporters alike.

Initiated with only 8 teams competing, the tournament has grown considerably in stature and size over the years to its current 48 team format. The atmosphere has also grown through swelling numbers of supporters and the day itself provides a truly carnival atmosphere off the field while delivering an explosive brand of running rugby on the paddock.

The tournament brings together a blend of classic country sides with traditional Sydney First Grade sides and a regular attendance of interstate and overseas teams.

Played on the last Saturday in February the Kiama Sevens has traditionally been seen as the unofficial opener of theNSW Rugby season and has long been used by national selectors as a guide for international sevens selections including the Hong Kong Sevens.

The cream of Australian Rugby of the past 40 years have graced the turf of Chittick Oval including the Ella brothers, Campo, Poidevan, Price, Willie O and a host of international and representative players.
