USA Perpignan Women is a French rugby union club, based in Perpignan. They compete in the Élite 2 competition, which is the second division of women's rugby in France.
History
editThe club was formerly based in Toulouges and was called "USA Toulouges XV".[1] In 2008, following a disagreement between USA Toulouges and the municipality of Toulouges, the club became the women's section of the USAP association under the name "USAP XV Féminin".
In its first season in 2009, the club became European champions by winning the final against Spanish club, Getxo. They also reached the Top 10 final, but lost 19–16 to Montpellier.
The following season, they became French champions after beating Montpellier 26–5. In 2011, USAP retained their title by beating Stade Rennais Rugby in the final with a score of 15–11.
In 2016, the club finished last in the Top 8 and was relegated to Elite 2. The only women's rugby club in the department to play at the national level, USAP Féminin continues its restructuring to once again reach Elite 1, relying last season on 130 players from the U14, U16 and senior categories.
For the past three seasons, the club has been on the right track, having qualified for the semi-finals of the French championship in 2021–2022 and 2023–2024.
