The 2014-15 Series will land in Langford, British Columbia for the fourth round at the Westhills Stadium on April 18 to 19.

Round five, the penultimate one, will be in the British capital London from May 15 to 16 at the Twickenham Stoop stadium, on the same weekend as the men's HSBC Sevens World Series.

The final will be played next door in the 82,000-capacity Twickenham Stadium.

Mirroring the last two seasons, the 2014-15 series will kick-off in the Sevens Stadium in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on December 4 and 5.

São Paulo in Brazil will play host to the second round on February 7 and 8, 18 months before the rugby sevens competition at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

On March 15 and 15, Kennesaw State University in Atlanta, United States will be the setting for round three, before the stops in Canada and Great Britain.

The finale, as it was last season, will be in the Dutch capital Amsterdam on May 22 and 23.

IRB chairman Bernard Lapasset said: "The level of competition in the Women's Sevens World Series is at an all-time high, and has been helped by the prospect of taking part in the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016.

"We now have Canada and London added to the bill for the coming season and given the appetite for quality Rugby and the Sevens Game, I have no doubt that they will be excellent hosts when they welcome the women's series to their shores next year."

Twelve teams will take part in each round of the Series.

Seven teams have qualified as core teams from last season's series.

Hong Kong will host a qualifying competition in September, with four nations winning the right to be added to the line-up.

A 12th team will be invited for each round of the series.

The only absence from the calendar is Guangzhou University Town Stadium in Guangzhou, China, which hosted round four of what was a five-round Series in 2013-14.

New Zealand won the Series ahead of Australia and Canada.
