In Carcassonne, rugby is much more than a sport: it is a story of passion, sharing and camaraderie. In the heart of the Aude department and the Occitanie region, the city lives and breathes rugby, with supporters united around two iconic forms of the game: rugby union and rugby league.
Whether you are a sports enthusiast, a loyal supporter or a curious visitor eager to discover local traditions, make the most of your stay in Carcassonne by experiencing the atmosphere of a match, discovering its historic clubs and sharing a moment at the heart of the region’s rugby culture.
In Occitanie, rugby is an integral part of the local identity. It brings generations together, enlivens weekends and creates unforgettable moments of excitement, both in the stands and on the pitch.
In Carcassonne, this rugby culture is expressed through two iconic clubs, each with its own history, colours and community of supporters. Rugby union and rugby league hold a special place here, offering fans two different ways to experience the thrill of the game.
Founded in 1899, US Carcassonne is a historic club in Carcassonne’s rugby scene. Guided by its motto, “Defend Our City,” the club proudly represents Carcassonne’s colours season after season, bringing players, volunteers and supporters together through a shared passion.
Rugby union can be experienced here in all its intensity: collective commitment, team spirit, suspense and the electric atmosphere of the stands. Home matches are an opportunity to enjoy a sporting and friendly experience while immersing yourself in local life.
