The Association Sportive Montferrandaise Clermont Auvergne is a rugby union team from the French city of Clermont-Ferrand in the Puy-de-Dôme department , which plays in the top 14 league. It is the main division of the Association Sportive Montferrandaise sports club . The home games are played at the Stade Marcel-Michelin .
Until 2004, the team appeared under the name AS Montferrandaise and is still often called that today. She reached the final of the French championship fourteen times, but could only win the championship title in 2010 after ten final defeats; in six finals the difference was less than seven points. In 2017 the ASM won another national championship title. At the European level, the team has won the European Challenge Cup three times .
history
Martin Michelin, son of the Michelin group founder André Michelin , founded the club in 1911 under the name AS Michelin . The rugby department soon played a dominant role in this corporate sports club. In 1922 the name was pressured by the sports association Union des Sociétés Françaises de Sports Athlétiques in AS Montferrandaise be changed.
In 1935, the team reached a major final game for the first time, in the Challenge Yves du Manoir . The ASM lost this game, as did the finals of the championship in 1936 and 1937. The final of the Challenge 1938 was won. In the following decade, the team competed twice in the Coupe de France , losing the finals in both 1945 and 1947. Ten years later, another defeat in the final followed in the Challenge.
In the 1970s, AS Montferrandaise was one of the best teams in the country. She reached the championship finals twice and lost each time (1970 and 1978). Two further defeats in the final in the Challenge (1972 and 1979) are compared to a victory (1976). In 1986 AS Montferrandaise won the Challenge for the third time.
In 1994, the team reached both the final of the Challenge and the championship, both times they went off as a loser. Two more defeats in the championship final followed in 1999 and 2001. The team celebrated the greatest success not at national, but at European level; In 1999 and 2007 she won the European Challenge Cup ; in June 2007 Clermont lost the final of the French championship for the eighth time. The ninth defeat in the final followed a year later. With the loss to USA Perpignan in 2009, the club failed for the tenth time and for the third time in a row in the final.
The “final curse” that weighed on the team was finally broken in 2010. At the eleventh attempt she prevailed against USA Perpignan and won the championship title for the first time. After another final defeat in 2015 against Stade Français , the ASM won their second national championship title in 2017 with a 22:16 against RC Toulon .
The biggest triumph in club rugby has so far been denied Clermont Auvergne: In 2013, 2015 and 2017 they lost the finals of the Heineken Cup and the European Rugby Champions Cup . In 2019, however, the European Challenge Cup was won for the third time, which means that ASM is now the record winner in this competition alongside the Harlequins .
