Top 14 Club Sales / Pro D2

From the 1892 Championship to the Top 14

The French rugby championship has been held since 1892: that year, the Racing Club de France defeated Stade Français in the final, refereed by Pierre de Coubertin. The winner receives the Bouclier de Brennus, named after the engraver Charles Brennus who created it. The competition was renamed Top 14 in 2005, featuring fourteen clubs, while the Pro D2, established in 2000, forms the second professional division. Both championships are linked by a system of promotions and relegations, allowing a club to switch from one to the other from one year to the next, without its supporters changing their shirts.

Toulouse, Bordeaux-Bègles, La Rochelle: recent achievements

The Stade Toulousain, founded in 1907, dominates the history of the championship, winning an epic final against Union Bordeaux-Bègles in 2025, after extra time. The Union Bordeaux-Bègles, established in 2006, claimed its first Champions Cup that same year by defeating Northampton in Cardiff. The Stade Rochelais, in yellow and black, secured two consecutive European titles in 2022 and 2023, while Racing 92 lifted the Brennus in 2016. Wearing the jersey of one of these clubs showcases a recent chapter in the history of French rugby, marked by the dominance of Top 14 clubs on the European stage.

Authentic jersey, Heritage or training kit

Beyond home and away supporter jerseys, the selection offers more special pieces. The authentic jersey, from the Stade Toulousain or RC Toulon, features the fitted cut and lightweight fabric worn by the players. The Heritage jersey with long sleeves from Stade Toulousain is inspired by outfits of the past, when rugby jerseys were worn with long sleeves. For weekdays, the training sleeveless shirt and pants reflect the attire worn during practice, while the graphic t-shirt from the club can be worn in town, away from the pitches.

Frequently asked questions

How do promotions and relegations work between Top 14 and Pro D2?

The last team in the Top 14 is directly relegated to Pro D2, and the second-last team plays a playoff against the losing finalist from Pro D2. The champion of Pro D2 is promoted directly, so one or two clubs change divisions each year.

Why is the Bouclier de Brennus nicknamed the piece of wood?

The engraved metal shield is mounted on a wooden panel, hence this affectionate nickname given by the players. Its plaque shape, rather than a cup, makes it one of the most unique trophies in French sport.

When are the Top 14 finals held?

The playoffs and semi-finals take place in June, leading to a final typically held at the Stade de France at the end of the month. The top six from the regular season qualify, with the top two going directly to the semi-finals.

Which jersey should a Stade Toulousain supporter choose?

The red and black home jersey remains the most iconic. The away jersey or the prematch shirt allows for variation, and the authentic version, which is more fitted, is aimed at those who want the exact outfit worn by the players at Ernest-Wallon.

Are the jerseys of Pro D2 clubs official?

Yes, Pro D2 clubs sell licensed jerseys, made by their manufacturers just like those in the Top 14. Their series are often shorter, making them sought after pieces for loyal supporters.
