Notes:
^a Italics denotes tournaments that are non-ranking events not counting towards the annual series championship.
^b The inaugural 2009 series also included non-ranking events at Kish Island in Iran, Subic in the Philippines, and Brunei.
^c It was originally planned to use the 2015 Asian Sevens Series as the qualifier for the 2016 Olympics but the series clashed with the 2015 Rugby World Cup so a separate Asian Olympic qualifying tournament was held with the final stage hosted in Hong Kong.[1]
^d The 2020 series was cancelled before any events were held, due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
^e Incheon, Huizhou and Colombo were originally scheduled as legs of the 2021 series.[2] Due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, all three of those events were cancelled and replaced – initially by two events planned for Dubai,[3] but eventually by just one event in Dubai.[4]
