Team registration for the Emirates Dubai 7s 2026 invitational tournaments will open for expressions of interest on Thursday 2nd April at 1pm (UAE time).

This is your chance for your netball, rugby, or cricket team to compete in the Middle East's biggest and most exciting invitational multi-sports tournament, in the heart of the Emirates Dubai 7s festival: 27–29 November 2026.

How to register your team's interest

From Thursday 2nd April 2026 at 1pm (UAE), team managers can submit an expression of interest using the online form at EmiratesDubai7s.com under the Enter Your Team section.

All applications will be reviewed by the Emirates Dubai 7s team. Once assessed, team managers will receive an email confirming whether their team has been deemed eligible to participate in their selected division. 

Securing your place

The payment portal for approved teams will open on Friday 1st May 2026. Eligible teams will receive a unique payment link via email, allowing them to confirm their place in the tournament.

Please note, a team’s place is only guaranteed once full payment has been received. Tournament spots are allocated on a first come, first served basis from the moment the payment portal opens.

Our tournaments are getting bigger and more popular year-on-year, so don't miss out on making memories in the sun this year with your team! 

Monitoring the regional situation 

Emirates Dubai 7s will continue to monitor the current regional situation in coordination with local authorities until the date of the event.

Review period: week commencing 12^th October 2026

A full refund will be offered only under the below circumstances:

• If Emirates Dubai 7s 2026 event is cancelled in full; or
• If your team is travelling internationally to the UAE and the official government authority in your country-of-origin issues guidance of either:
  • “Do not travel to the UAE”, or
  • “Essential travel only to the UAE”

during the period 12-16 October 2026.

During the week 12-16th October 2026: The Emirates Dubai 7s team will consult the official government authority advice of your team’s country-of-origin, and teams that meet the above criteria will be contacted during this period to discuss options. Should a refund at this point be requested, it will be arranged.

Teams not contacted will be considered out of these conditions and will not be eligible for a refund. It is therefore vital that team managers include the correct country-of-origin where requested in the team registration form, as it will impact refund eligibility.

For the avoidance of doubt, Emirates Dubai 7s will continue to monitor government advisories after 16^th October, and may adjust its position on the above policy. The safety, security and experience of attendees and teams remain top priority.
