Perpignan Rugby History
Throughout the rest of rugby’s amateur era, the Perpignan Rugby team were intermittently successful, and they won the French Championship on another two occasions (1944 and 1955). However, they did reach the final again at the start of the professional era in 1998, when they lost against Stade Français. They also faced the same fate in 2004, when they lost to the same opposition.
Throughout rugby’s professional era, the Perpignan Rugby side have been less successful. However, they did win the 2008-09 edition of the Top 14 and were crowned as the champions of France once again. Similarly, the team have also enjoyed some glorious moments on the European stage. For example, in 2003, they reached the final of the Heineken Cup (now the European Rugby Champions Cup). Sadly though, they lost a close game against Toulouse. Unfortunately, this means they’ve never lifted Europe’s most prized rugby union trophy.
Sadly, since finishing as the Top 14 runners-up in 2010, the Perpignan Rugby team have been in a downward spiral and they’ve regularly yo-yoed between the Top 14 and the Pro D2 in recent years. After being relegated from the Top 14 in the 2018-19 season, the side now plays in Pro D2.
