The premier social rugby tournament in America has also moved to Las Vegas!

The Las Vegas Invitational Tournament (LVI) is now the official tournament for all ages and skill levels associated with the USA Sevens International Tournament and Festival. The LVI gives you a chance to participate and play over the weekend, in addition to spectating at the USA Sevens Tournament.

The Invitational Tournament features club teams from across the USA and Canada, as well as select sides from around the world. More than 150 teams competed in 2009, which is expected to grow for 2010 with an expansion from 7 divisions to 11 divisions of competition for men, women and youth.

* International Women
* Men’s - Club/University
* Women’s - Club/University
* U19/High School Varsity
* U16/Junior Varsity
* U14/U12

Aside from location, another major change from previous years is the proximity of the Invitational Tournament to the USA Sevens Tournament. For 2010, the LVI will be on the same grounds as the USA Sevens, played on more than 10 fields at the Sam Boyd Stadium Complex. Competition will run from Thursday through Saturday morning.
