The tournament was held at Twickenham Stadium, London on 2–3 June 2018. Fiji won the tournament by defeating South Africa 21–17 in the final. However it was Ireland who stole the show, finishing in third place in their first World Series tournament since 2004. Ireland thus became the first invitational side to reach the semi-finals and the podium of a World Rugby Sevens Series event.<ref>[https://demandnewspaper.com/fiji-take-giant-step-towards-world-rugby-sevens-series-title-but-ireland-steal-the-show-as-jordan-conroy-lights-up-london/ "Fiji take giant step towards World Rugby Sevens Series title but Ireland steal the show as Jordan Conroy lights up London"]{{Dead link|date=June 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, 3 June 2018.</ref>
