The French Rugby Federation (FFR) is the governing body for rugby union in France. Established in 1919, it oversees the organization and promotion of the sport at all levels, from amateur clubs to professional teams. The FFR is responsible for the national teams, including the men's and women's squads, and manages competitions such as the Top 14 and Pro D2 leagues. The FFR also plays a crucial role in developing rugby in schools and communities, aiming to increase participation and improve the quality of the game. It works closely with international bodies like World Rugby to ensure that French rugby adheres to global standards and regulations.
