Where to play Rugby clubs and fields Pyrénées-Atlantiques

Since its creation in 1913, Biarritz Olympique (B.O for Biarrots), a legendary club, has worn the red and white colors with pride. Having twice lifted the Brennus Shield before the war (1935 and 1939), the BO gave birth to Biarritz Olympique Pays Basque in 1998 in order to adapt to the new professional world. The adaptation was a success for the club, which was French champion in 2002, 2005 and 2006, as well as European champion (Amlin Cup) in 2012. The club is in the Top 14 for the 2022 season and back in the Pro D2 for the 2023/2024 season.

The Aviron Bayonnais rugby appeared in 1906. the club won 3 French championship titles (1913, 1934 and 1943). After a long period in the Top 14 (2004-2015), the Aviron went down to the Pro D2 before reintegrating the elite the following year. But a very complicated season got the better of Bayonne's enthusiasm and the Blue and Whites returned to the Pro D2 in 2017. After the 2020 season in the Top 14, the Aviron returned to the Pro D2 in 2021 and the Top 14 again in 2022.
