AS Carcassonne XIII League Placings : 2000-23

AS Carcassonne was founded in 1938, and is located in the Occitanie region in the south of France. They are one of the most successful clubs in the French Rugby league, having won eleven French championship titles and fifteen Lord Derby Cups. They have as a nickname the Canaries.

Apart from the 1980's and latter 1990's they have been consistently challenging for titles. They weren't in the top flight for one season when the century commenced but soon fixed that and progressively improved as the past two decades unfolded. 

They won the league in 2015 and 2016, 2019, 2021 and 2023 (there was no winner in 2020). They won a grand final in 2011-12 but that title has proved elusive for the club otherwise over the past few decades. 1991-92 was the previous success. Five Lord Derby Cups have graced the trophy cabinet since 2010. Their recent success is impressive indeed.
