World Rugby Chairman Bill Beaumont said: "With just over a year to go, everything is coming together to ensure that Rugby World Cup Sevens 2018 is an unforgettable experience for players and fans, delivering a record-breaking platform for the promotion and growth of rugby sevens worldwide. The vision and dedication of the event organisers is driving great excitement and enthusiasm across the Bay Area, the USA and further beyond and fans of the shorter format of the game look forward to enjoying the best that sevens has to offer.
"This will be the first time the tournament has been held in North America and I am confident it will be remembered as one of the biggest and best yet, furthering the profile and growth of the sport in the host nation and worldwide."
Payne added: "Through Rugby World Cup Sevens 2018 in the USA we want to continue inspiring people and bringing rugby to more people across the country. The tickets going on sale on 20 July will mark another important milestone on that journey and there is a real sense of excitement as the tournament gets closer. We want to make sure that the legacy from hosting the tournament is real and lasting – we want more people playing, coaching, refereeing and volunteering, watching and talking about rugby – and we are on our way to delivering that vision."
