FRENCH RUGBY LEAGUE NATION OVERVIEW
Information on this page updated 14/3/14
Foundation Year – 1934
International Team – Les Tricolores
Highest finish in World Cup – Runner-up World Cup Final (1954, 1968)
Top level domestic competition – In 2006 the Perpignan based Catalans Dragons entered the Super League competition. The French Elite Championship first kicked off in 1935. Currently 9 teams compete in the Elite Championship.
History – Rugby League has been played in France since 1934. At one stage their were more Rugby League clubs then Rugby Union. All this changed during the German occupation of France in World War II.
Union officials collaborated with the Vichy government to have the game banned and seized all Treize XIII’s assets and handed them over to Rugby Union. After World War II was over Treize XIII started up again but the damage had already been done. To this day the assets have never been returned.
The early 1950’s and late 1960’s were golden era’s for French Rugby League. The French defeated all other nations in test series during these periods. They also made it to the final of the 1954 and 1968 World Cup’s. After 1968 French Rugby League started to go down hill and eventually the national side could not match it any more with the likes of Australia, England and New Zealand. The low point game when they had to forfeit World Cup games during the 1985 to 1988 World Cup.
French Rugby League was on a downward spiral with other nations worried about leagues survival in France. The shinning light came with the acceptance of the Catalans Dragons into the Super League in 2006. The Catalans have immediately made an impact getting national exposure and are partly responsible for a resurgence in popularity of league in the south of France. It is hoped this new found popularity will assist France in returning to its previous status as one of the top rugby league nations in the world. Since the Catalans entered the Super League participation numbers have increased to over 30,000.
France have their top club sides from the Elite Competition enter into the Challenge Cup each year. The Elite Championship has 9 teams, Elite 2 also has 10 teams with the 1st Division competition having 12 teams split into 2 groups. The Catalans Dragons created history in 2007 by making the Challenge Cup Final.
France were grouped with Fiji and Scotland in the 2008 Rugby League World Cup. The French were favourites to top the Pool and secure a position in the Semi Final. The campaign got off to a great start with a convincing win over Scotland. Then injuries to key players hit the French hard. They under performed against Fiji and were on the wrong end of a hiding going down 42 – 6. Having failed to make the qualifying semi final, France had one last chance to regain some pride. In the battle for the 9th ranking position France failed to fire going down to Samoa 42 – 10. France finished the World Cup with the wooden spoon.
In 2009 France were ranked 5th in World seedings by the Rugby League International Federation (RLIF).
France put in good showing for the 2009 Four Nations. The French were competitive in the first half of all games but could not keep it up in the second half of each game. The French had shown improvement since their World Cup performance and justified their automatic inclusion in the Four Nations Tournament.
France will host two games during the 2013 RLWC. The French have been placed in Group B with New Zealand, Samoa and Papua New Guinea. France open their World Cup campaign on October the 27th (Sunday) when they take on Papua New Guinea at MS3 Craven Park, Hull in England. The French then return home to host current world cup holders New Zealand on November the 1st (Friday) at the Parc des Sports, Avignon. France will then travel across to Perpignan for their final group match against Samoa at Gilbert Brutus Stadium on November the 11th (Monday).
