The 2017 Rugby Europe Sevens Grand Prix[1] served as a European qualifier not only for the 2018 Hong Kong Sevens qualifier tournament, but for two bids among the teams not already qualified for the 2018 Rugby World Cup Sevens.[2]
The 2017 Grand Prix Series serves as a qualifying event for two other tournaments:
The three highest ranked European teams (other than the five teams below marked with a "C" that are not already core teams in the Sevens World Series) will qualify to the 2018 Hong Kong Sevens, with a chance to qualify for the 2018–19 World Rugby Sevens Series.
The top two teams (other than the three teams marked with a "Q" that already qualified) will qualify for the 2018 Rugby World Cup Sevens.[2]
