Melrose is where rugby sevens was founded. First played on the Greenyards in 1883, what began as a local fundraising idea sparked a global sporting movement – one that’s now celebrated in stadiums and festivals around the world.
More than 140 years on, the Melrose Sevens still captures that same energy and excitement – world-class rugby, electric crowds, and the unmistakable buzz of the Greenyards. From local clubs to international stars, this is the home of the sevens.
