The 2015 Premiership Rugby Sevens Series was the sixth Rugby Union 7-a-side competition for the twelve 2015–16 Aviva Premiership Clubs, and the second including the four Welsh Regions that compete in the Pro12.

The pool stage of the tournament started on 15 August 2015, before continuing on 20–22 August 2015. The final took place on 28 August 2015.

Format

The sixteen teams were split into four groups - A, B, C & D, based on geographical location. Each team in the group played each other once, to the World Rugby Laws of the Game - 7s Variations. Based on the result, teams received:

• 4 points for a win
• 2 points for a draw
• 1 bonus point for a loss by seven points or less
• 1 bonus point for scoring four or more tries in a match

Following all each group, the winner and runner up in each group progressed to the Final Stage. In the final, the 8 teams (4 Winners and 4 Runners up) were arranged into 4 quarter-final pairings. The winners of each match qualified for the Cup semi-finals, with the losers moving into a new Plate competition. Thereafter, competition was a simple knockout bracket, with the winner of the Cup final being declared the series winner.
