The first French rugby union championship final

The USFSA organized the first French rugby championship as a one-off game between Racing Club de France and Stade Français on 20 March 1892.

The match was refereed by Pierre de Coubertin. Racing Club de France won the game 4–3. This victory secured the inaugural edition of the French championship. Racing was awarded the Bouclier de Brennus. The venue is not specified in the sources, so the legacy claim of Parc des Princes is unverified.
