Founded in 1908, Agen is one of the historic clubs in French rugby, having won theFrench Championship eight times. Its home ground is theStade Armandie and traditional club colours are navy blue and white.

The club was established in 1900.

The club experienced some success in the following years in theChallenge Yves du Manoir competition as well; winning it in the 1932 season and being runners-up toLyon OU in the 1933 season.

Agen would have another successful run in the 1940s, beginning with the 1943 season when they defeatedStade Bordelais 11 to 4 to win theCoupe de France. That season they also made it to the championship final; though they were defeated byAviron Bayonnais 3 points to nil atParc des Princes in Paris.

In 1945 they again won the title of the French championship, defeatingFC Lourdes 7 points to 3 in the final in Paris. The championship was one of their two titles that season, as Agen also won the Coupe de France, defeatingMontferrand 14 to 13. Agen featured in one more championship that decade, losing toToulouse 10 points to 3.

Agen were relatively quiet during the 1950s, though they again rose to prominence during the 1960s. In 1962 they again became of the champions of France after defeatingBéziers 14 points to 11 in the season final. The following season they won the Challenge Yves du Manoir, defeatingBrive 11 points to nil in the final. Agen became the French champions on two more occasions during the 1960s, defeating Brive in 1965 and thenDax in 1966.

The club had another successful run during the 1970s, starting with an unsuccessful Challenge Yves du Manoir final, losing toToulon 25 points to 22. They were unsuccessful again in 1975 in the Challenge Yves du Manoir, losing to Béziers 16 points to 12 in the final. However they would then meet Béziers in the championship final of the 1976 season, and defeat them 13 to 10 to win their first championship since 1966.

Agen went through period of success in the 1980s after winning the championship in 1982, defeating Aviron Bayonnais 18 points to 9 in the final. The following season they won the Challenge Yves du Manoir as well after defeating Toulon 29 points to 7. In 1984 they again contested the championship final, though they eventually lost it to Béziers. They unsuccessfully contested it again in 1986, losing to Toulouse 16 to 6. They were also runners-up in the 1987 Challenge Yves du Manoir, losing to Grenoble. However, in 1988 they again won the championship, defeatingStadoceste Tarbais 9 to 3 in the final.

He led the team in tries in 2005 and 2006, and led Pro D2 in that category during Agen's most recent promotion season in 2010. However, he would be dismissed from the team in September 2010 after failing to report to the team for preseason workouts (several weeks later, he would reemerge at Toulouse).
