The 2012β13 IRB Sevens World Series, known for sponsorship reasons as the HSBC Sevens World Series, was the 14th annual series of rugby sevens tournaments for full national sides. The IRB Sevens World Series has been run by the International Rugby Board since 1999β2000.
The schedule for the 2012β13 series was released in late June 2012. At the time, the schedule included a new event to be held in La Plata, Argentina. [1] However, on 16 August, the Argentine Rugby Union pulled out of hosting an event in 2012β13, citing demands associated with the country's 2012 entry into The Rugby Championship.

Before each season, the IRB announces the "core teams" that received guaranteed berths in each event of that season's series. This was the first series in which 15 teams received this status, up from 12 in the recent past. All 12 core teams from 2011β12 retained their status, with three more being elevated as top finishers in a 12-team qualifying tournament conducted as part of the 2012 Hong Kong Sevens. The 2012β13 core teams are: [2] [3]
For the first time, the IRB instituted a formal promotion and relegation process for core team status in the Sevens World Series, replacing the former ad hoc process. The top 12 core teams in the season table after the next-to-last round of the series in Glasgow retained their status for 2013β14. The remaining three core teams for 2013β14 are being determined in a two-stage qualifying process: [4]
The points awarded to teams at each event, as well as the overall season totals, are shown in the table below. Points for the event winners are indicated in bold. A zero (0) is recorded in the event column where a team competed in a tournament but did not gain any points. A dash (β) is recorded in the event column if a team did not compete at a tournament.
