The 2015 Rugby Europe Sevens Grand Prix Series was an Olympic qualification tournament for rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics which was held over three legs in the cities of Moscow, Lyon and Exeter.[1]
The top team qualified directly to the Olympic Games, whereas the runner-up qualified to the Final Olympic Qualification Tournament in 2016. France won the 2015 Rugby Europe Men's Sevens Championship, and qualified directly to the 2016 Summer Olympics. Spain finished second and qualified directly to the Final 2016 Men's Olympic Qualification Tournament, avoiding the Rugby Europe Repechage Tournament.[2][3]
This was the final time that the Rugby Europe Grand Prix Series acted as an olympic qualifying tournament. Qualification for the 2020 Summer Olympics consisted of a separate Stand-alone Olympic Qualifying tournament organised by Rugby Europe.[4] Rugby sevens at the 2023 European Games acted as the 2024 Olympic Qualifying tournament[5] following Rugby Sevens debut within the European Games.[6]
