Each club can enter two teams but if nominations are in excess of 48 your club may be restricted back to 1 team. Clubs will be seeded and elimination rounds played. Every team is guaranteed 2 games. In addition there is a separate knock-out competition run for the runners up from the elimination rounds.

All clubs playing in the Illawarra District Rugby Union Competition are  invited to compete as are all Tooheys New Cup clubs and a number of other country, interstate and city clubs.

The Kiama Sevens is used as a selection trial by NSW Country Rugby Union and Australian Rugby Football Union for future representative sevens teams.
