The '''[[Edinburgh Sevens]]''' is played annually as part of the [[IRB Sevens World Series]] for international [[rugby sevens]] (seven a side version of [[rugby union]]). The 2007 competition took place on 2 and 3 June, and was held at [[Murrayfield Stadium|Murrayfield]]. It was the last leg of the [[2006–07 IRB Sevens World Series]].

[[New Zealand national rugby sevens team|New Zealand]] won the tournament after defeating [[Samoa national rugby sevens team|Samoa]], 34–5, in the final. [[Fiji national rugby sevens team|Fiji]] were upset by [[Wales national rugby sevens team|Wales]], 21–14, in their quarter-final. A Fijian victory would have guaranteed them the overall 2006–07 Series crown, however, as a result of their loss and New Zealand's tournament victory, New Zealand won the overall series.
