History

The club was established on Oct.12, 1912. It played regularly in the First Division, and established itself as the stronghold of rugby in Limousin but for ages its only title was a Second Division trophy won in 1957. Brive did not make it to the final of the First Division championship until 1965. On May 23 that year they met SU Agen at Stade de Gerland in Lyon only to lose (8-15). Brive next made it to the final in the 1972 season, where they faced AS Béziers on May 21 in Lyon again, and again the Black and White came out the losers, as Béziers won their second consecutive title (9-0). Brive met AS Béziers in the final again three season later, in 1975. By then, Béziers had become the unbeatable team of the decade, and they won their fifth title, this time by just the one point (13-12), at Parc des Princes in Paris.

Brive however went down 20 to 13 to Stade Toulousain. It was their fourth losing final. Only two other clubs have lost more finals without winning one than them (ASM Clermont Auvergne 7, US Dax 5).
