Rugby

About the French rugby team

The French rugby union team, or XV de France, embodies the passion and values of national rugby. Since its creation in 1919, it has brought together the best French players, proudly representing France in all the major international competitions. Wearing a navy blue jersey for home matches and a white jersey for away matches, the XV de France has made history by taking part in prestigious events such as the World Cup in Japan in 2019 and the Rugby World Cup France 2023.

The history of the rugby team

At the beginning of the 20th century, the French national team wore a royal blue jersey, white breeches and red stockings, the colours of the French flag. The heart of the jersey featured the famous Gallic cockerel, a symbol of pride and fighting spirit. Since then, the design has evolved, but the red socks have remained a constant.
The XV de France's first international match dates back to 1906 against the Blacks of New Zealand, a team that has become legendary. One of the most memorable matches at the Stade de France was the 1998 Six Nations against England. Iconic players such as Christophe Lamaison and Philippe Bernat-Salles shone, helping the Blues to a resounding victory.
Today, under the leadership of Fabien Galthié, a former scrum-half, the French national team continues to impress, with a solid squad and competent staff ready to meet the challenges of each season.
