World Rugby Sevens Series hosts  The World Rugby Sevens Series hosts have included several different counties. Ten counties currently host a leg of the World Rugby Sevens Series. Several other countries previously hosted tournaments, most recently Scotland and Japan, both of which were terminated following the 2014–15 season. Hosts are current as of the upcoming 2019–20 series. Each of the three most recent offseasons (2017, 2018 and 2019) has seen at least one tournament move. After the 2016–17 series, the New Zealand event was moved from Wellington to Hamilton. Following the 2017–18 series, the Australia event was moved within Sydney from Sydney Football Stadium (at the time known commercially as Allianz Stadium) to Sydney Showground Stadium (then commercially known as Spotless Stadium). The Australia event moved again within the Sydney region to Western Sydney Stadium (commercially Bankwest Stadium) in Parramatta after the 2018–19 series. Shortly after World Rugby announced the countries for the most recent four-year hosting cycle (2019–20 to 2022–23), it announced that the USA Sevens would return to its original venue, Dignity Health Sports Park in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson, California, for at least the 2019–20 series. In the table below, all dates are relative to the first season of the country's or site's current hosting stint. Some current events have been interrupted; these are indicated with footnotes.

At the time, the schedule included a new event to be held in La Plata, Argentina.
