During the First World War, Rennes were allowed to participate in the Allied Cup (Inter-federation French Championship) as well as the Rennes Cup, since the Brittany league was interrupted by the war. After winning easily the Rennes Cup, Griffith lead his players to a number of surprise wins against better known clubs and were finalists thanks to a 3-0 win against Le Havre and a 5-0 win over the Entente Suisse.

The following year, Rennes had a successful run in the Interfederation cup but were unable to retain their title. Having become a strong national side, since Rennes won the Upper Brittany League in 1918, as well as the Allies Cup in 1916 and 1917, the post-war period was one of great success for the Stade Rennais UC : Western Champions in 1919, 1920, 1921 and 1923, the Stade Rennais was also finalist of the French Cup in 1922, losing 2-0 against Red Star.

In 1924, the Stade Rennais Université Club merged with the Rennes Etudiant-Club, keeping the name of Stade Rennais Université Club. The season was disappointing however, with Rennes finishing outside the top 2 places of the league they were playing in for the first time since 1907, being 3rd in the Western Division.
The President of the Stade Rennais, Isidore Odorico, brought several foreign players to the club (Lothka, Szabo, Nico. . . ), but the side remained unable to win the Western Division, and President Odorico's attitude towards both amateurism and restrictions on foreign players conflicted with the Western Division's direction. As other teams rose in the Western Division (Stade Quimpérois and CSJB Angers), Rennes decided to retire from the Western Division in 1929. Stade Quimpérois is a French football team from the city of Quimper, Finistère, currently playing in CFA 2 group G (5th
For three years, the Stade Rennais Université Club was no longer part of the Western Division, and played only friendly games.

Odorico managed to convince supporters to donate money to the club, and after the club's financial fragility had been solved, the FFF accepted the Stade Rennais amongst the 20 clubs to participate in the first season. Olympique Lillois won Division 1 season 1932/1933 of the French Association Football League, the first professional football season in France, defeating [4]
Rennes' start to professional football was encouraging, with a 6th place in their first season. However, the club's financial situation didn't improve, and by 1937 the club had to be subsidised by the town of Rennes after the mayor was put under pressure by local commerce. When the second World War started in 1939, the French football league was disbanded, and the Stade Rennais Université Club reverted to amateur status. For two years, the Stade only played in the French Cup, as well as friendly matches against local sides. This is about the football competition for the rugby see Coupe de France (rugby. In 1941, Rennes took part in the Occupied Area Division of the French League, but finished a disappointing 7th out of 9.

Those years were the beginning of stability at the club.
