History

[edit]

The club was created on 15 March 1910. Before the Second World War, Brive changed fromrugby union torugby league but returned to union after the war.

It played regularly in the First Division, and established itself as the stronghold of rugby inLimousin but for many years its only title was a Second Division trophy won in 1957. Brive did not make it to the final of the First Division championship until 1965. On 23 May that year they metSU Agen atStade de Gerland inLyon only to lose 15–8. Brive next made it to the final in the 1972 season, where they facedAS Béziers on 21 May in Lyon again, and again the Black and White came out the losers, as Béziers won their second consecutive title (9–0). Brive met AS Béziers in the final again three season later, in 1975. By then, Béziers had become the unbeatable team of the decade, and they won their fifth title, this time by just one point (13–12), atParc des Princes inParis.

Brive experienced a resurgence in the middle of the 1990s, first in 1996, when they made their first finals appearance since the mid-1970s in Paris. Brive however went down 20–13 toStade Toulousain. It was their fourth losing final. Only one club have lost more finals without winning one than them (US Dax, on five). That year however, they won theChallenge Yves du Manoir, defeatingPau 12–6. The following season, they made it to the final of theHeineken Cup where they faced theLeicester Tigers fromEngland atCardiff Arms Park. Brive finally won a final, defeating the Tigers 28–9.[1] They are the only club to win the European Cup without ever winning their domestic championship.

On 22 February 1997, Brive, as European champions, were pitted againstAuckland Blues who had recently won theSuper 12. The French team were no competition to an extra powerful Kiwi side which won easily 47–11.[2] In 1998 Brive again reached the final of the Heineken Cup, this time againstBath. They came close to capturing back-to-back titles, losing by just one point, 19–18 atParc Lescure inBordeaux.

Since then, however, the club has been in dire straits, as it was subjected to a punitive relegation to the second division in 2000 due to bad financial management. They bounced back two years later but have struggled ever since in the lower echelons of the league table, except in 2004 when they managed to qualify for the playoffs. In 2005, Brive went to the semi-finals ofEuropean Challenge Cup, but they lost toPau. In 2009, after taking the sixth place of the Championship, the Black and White could participate in theHeineken Cup, but the competition was difficult for them, against the Europeans championsLeinster,Llanelli Scarlets andLondon Irish.

After difficulties and a relegation to thesecond division in 2012, Brive returned to theTop 14 the following year, after defeatingPau.[3]
