US Montauban are a French rugby union club, currently competing in the Top 14 competition, after being promoted from Rugby Pro D2 for the 2006-07 season. They are based in Montauban in the département of Tarn-et-Garonne in Midi-Pyrénées.
[edit] History
The club was established in 1905. The club made their first championship appearance in the 1967 season, where they captured their first championship title; defeating CA Bègles 11 points to 3 in Bordeaux. They gained promotion from Pro D2 for the 2006-07 season.
In their first match of the 2006-07 season, they defeated Narbonne 41-20, gaining five points (including a bonus point) to go to second in the table after round one. They continued in surprisingly strong form for a newly promoted team, notably handing early runaway league leaders Stade Français their first defeat of the season, 15-9, in Round 10 on 6 October. Montauban ended the season in seventh place, a respectable position for a newly promoted team.
