France won in Moscow but Germany won the Łódź tournament to take out the series championship title for the first time.

Germany, Italy and Portugal, as the three highest-placed nations without core team status on the World Rugby Sevens Series, gained entry to the inaugural World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series for a chance to qualify to the World Sevens Series in 2020–21.

The Moscow leg of the tournament also served as a pre-qualifier for the 2020 Summer Olympics. The nine highest-placed eligible European teams from that tournament advanced to the Olympic regional qualifier held in Colomiers, France.
