The 2009–10 IRB Sevens World Series was the eleventh of an annual series of rugby union sevens tournaments for full national sides run by the International Rugby Board since 1999–2000. Samoa won the IRB Sevens World Series crown for their first time. Sevens is a stripped-down version of rugby union, with seven players on each side rather than fifteen. Games are much shorter, seven or ten minutes each half, and tend to be very fast-paced. Sevens is traditionally played in a two-day tournament format. However, the most famous event, the Hong Kong Sevens, is played over three days, largely because it involves 24 teams instead of the normal 16. ==Itinerary== The series' tournaments were identical to those in 2008–09 and spanned the globe, visiting five of the six populated continents. Two minor changes were made to the schedule: * The USA event moved from San Diego, its home from 2007 to 2009, to Las Vegas. * The Adelaide event moved from its previous slot of one week after Hong Kong to one week before.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2009–10 IRB Sevens World Series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
