The sixteen teams were split into four groups - A, B, C & D, based on geographical location.

Each team in the group played each other once, to the World Rugby Laws of the Game - 7s Variations.

In the final, the 8 teams (4 Winners and 4 Runners up) were arranged into 4 quarter-final pairings.

The winners of each match qualified for the Cup semi-finals, with the losers moving into a new Plate competition.

Finals day was played at the Twickenham Stoop on Friday 28 August 2015.
