history

The association was founded on August 25, 1904, by soldiers from the 139th Infantry Regiment stationed in Aurillac and by students from the Lycée Emile Duclaux. However, many of the players of the first generation fell in the First World War . In 1932 Stade Aurillacois rose to the second division. From 1933 the club (with the exception of the years 1949 to 1955) belonged to the highest French league. In 1986 the club reached the final of the Coupe de France , which was held for the last time , but lost to AS Béziers . In 1989 he was relegated to the second division.

In 1998, Stade Aurillacois rose again to the top division. During the 1999/2000 season the club was involved in the European Challenge Cup , as well as during the 2000/01 season. In 2001, however, he was relegated to Rugby Pro D2, and in 2006 to Fédérale 1 . Stade Aurillac won the title of French amateur champion in 2007 and secured immediate promotion.
