The 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens, held at Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, Russia, was the sixth edition of the Rugby World Cup Sevens. The International Rugby Board (IRB) has stated that the Rugby World Cup Sevens will be scrapped if rugby sevens were to be included in the Olympic programme for the 2016 Summer Olympics. As the International Olympic Committee have voted for the sport's inclusion, this was thought likely to be the last edition of the tournament. However, the IRB clarified that in June 2013, the tournament will be retained and held quadrennially from 2018.
