The men’s and women’s Hong Kong national sevens teams were granted elite sport status by the Hong Kong Sports Institute on 1 April 2013, which means the HKRFU national sevens teams receive an annual stipend to be distributed to qualified players from the target teams.
In November 2013, former Wales sevens coach Gareth Baber took over as head of the men's rugby sevens programme at the Hong Kong Sports Institute. At the same time former coach, Dai Rees, was promoted to be the HKRFU's head of technical development and performance.
They qualified for the 2024 World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series in Dubai. In round one of the tournament, they were knocked out of the quarter-final by Germany. They went on to beat Georgia for seventh place.
