L'Équipe ( French for "the team") is a French sports - daily newspaper . It is one of the most widely read daily newspapers in the country.

The newspaper was founded after the Second World War on February 28, 1946 as the journalistic successor to the sports newspaper L'Auto , which was banned in 1944 . It has been published daily since 1948. Today the newspaper with the subtitle "Le Quotidien du sport et de l'automobile" appears seven times a week and deals with all areas of sport , with a focus on football , rugby , motor sport and cycling . Their daily circulation in 2006 was around 355,000 copies.

In addition, the publisher also publishes sports books, which are written with the help of the newspaper editorial team, as well as a Saturday weekly magazine, L'Équipe Magazine , since 1980 . More recent are Sports et Style , which has been published three times a year since 2005, and L'Équipe Féminine since 2006 . Since August 1998 the publisher has also been operating a television station called L'Équipe TV .

In 1903 the Tour de France was founded by Henri Desgrange , then editor-in-chief of L'Auto . To this day, the most famous cycling race in the world is organized by the parent company of L'Équipe , the Amaury Sport Organization (ASO). The L'Équipe is therefore regarded in journalistic circles as the "bible" of tour reporting.

Gabriel Hanot , the "father of the European Football Cup ", worked for L'Equipe as a journalist and editor.

Since 1946 the editorial team of the daily newspaper has been voting under the title Champion des champions France Sportsman of the Year and since 1980 under the title Champion des champions monde the World Sportsman of the Year.
