RC Toulon, the red and black RCT

Mayol, the stadium gifted by a singer

Founded in 1908, the Rugby Club Toulonnais has been playing since 1920 at the Mayol stadium, which is named after the singer Félix Mayol, a child of Toulon: he donated the land and transferred the rights to his songs to the club to fund the facilities. Destroyed by a bombing in 1943, the stadium was rebuilt after the war, still situated between the city and the harbour. Before each match, the public sings the Pilou-Pilou, a war cry written by player Marcel Bodrero in the late forties and revived by supporters in 2000.

From the first Brennus to three European Cups

The RCT won its first Bouclier de Brennus in 1931, then regained it in 1987 and 1992, with a generation led by Éric Champ and Jérôme Gallion. Under the presidency of Mourad Boudjellal, starting in 2006, the club signed stars from all around the world, including Jonny Wilkinson, and achieved an unprecedented feat: three consecutive European Cups in 2013, 2014, and 2015, as well as the title of champion of France in 2014. The European Challenge, won in 2023 against Glasgow, in Dublin, extended this continental story.

Authentic, prematch, women's: the RCT range

The red and black home jersey is available in an authentic version, fitted and made from lightweight and stretchy fabric like that of the players, in a supporter version with a straighter cut, and in a women's cut; the away jersey is also available in children's sizes. The prematch jersey, worn for warm-ups, and the training gear, jersey, quarter-zip jersey, and trousers, extend the players' equipment, along with the away shorts and third. The tracksuit jacket, hoodies, t-shirts, and cap dress the supporter for everyday wear.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose my authentic jersey size?

Cut to fit snugly, the authentic jersey is worn tight: take your usual size if you like this feel, or go up a size for a more relaxed fit. If in doubt, compare the chest measurement in the guide with a t-shirt you already wear.

Does the women's RCT jersey fit differently?

Yes: it follows a women's pattern, more fitted at the waist and narrower at the shoulders than the men's version. Take your usual size; those who prefer a looser jersey can choose the men's supporter cut.

What’s the difference between the prematch jersey and the training jersey?

The prematch jersey is worn on match day during warm-ups, often with a more graphic design. The training jersey is used for sessions during the week, and its quarter-zip version, which offers more coverage, is used for chilly mornings.

How do I care for a printed RCT jersey?

Wash it inside out, in cold water or at thirty degrees, without fabric softener or bleach, to preserve the printing and badges. Dry it on a hanger, in the shade, and never iron directly on the prints.

Should a rugby short be fitted?

A rugby short should be short and fitted to prevent grabs by the opponent, with a cord to adjust the waist. Take your usual size, and one size up if you wear padded shorts underneath.
