France Rugby League (in French in the original) was a French rugby league competition which took place in 1995 and 1996, as well as the name of its governing body. The brainchild of former rugby union star Jacques Fouroux, it was an attempt to market the younger code to a casual audience, as a summer tour contested by regional select teams between seasons of France's regular club championship. The first edition received some positive reviews, but the long term viability of its business model remained unclear,[1] and it was quickly eclipsed by the expansion of Rupert Murdoch's Super League to the French market.[2]
