The 1892 French Rugby Championship was the inaugural annual French rugby union championship organised on 20 March 1892 by the USFSA, a one off game between Racing Club de France and Stade Français. The game was refereed by Pierre de Coubertin and saw Racing win 4–3.[1] Racing were awarded the Bouclier de Brennus, which continues to be awarded to the winners of the Top 14. The trophy was the idea of de Coubertin who commissioned Charles Brennus, a member of the USFSA and a professional engraver, to design it.
1 try Pallissaux (1 point), 1 conversion Gaspar de Candamo (2 points), 1 " tenu en but " Reichel (1 point). A "tenu en but" roughly translates to "maul in goal" and was a scoring system using in France in the late 19th century where a point was scored when a player crossed the try line but did not ground the ball.[2]
