World Club 10s is a rugby union tournament played under rugby tens rules, and contested by professional clubs from around the world. Top-level teams from Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania, have played in the tournament since the first edition in 2014.
The first tournament was played at Singapore as the opening event of the new National Stadium in June 2014.The Auckland Blues of New Zealand won the final by 10–5 after double extra time against Australia's ACT Brumbies. However, the event was overshadowed by a serious spinal injury that occurred during the third-place playoff match which ended the rugby career of Welsh player Owen Williams.
After a one year hiatus, the tournament moved to Mauritius with Beachcomber as the new title sponsor for 2016. In an all-Australian final, the Western Force won the title by 7–0 to leave the ACT Brumbies as runner-up for a second time. Two South African teams reached the final in 2017, with the Blue Bulls winning the championship by 26–7 over the Free State Cheetahs.
