Between 1905 and 1914 the football team won 10 regional championships, but it was the rugby union team that brought the club its greatest successes and in 1912 they won their first French Championship title. The Ligue Nationale de Rugby ( English: National Rugby League) is the name of the national professional Rugby
After wining its first national title in 1912, Stade Toulousain had to wait until 1922 before it won its second. However the 1920s were a golden era for the club. Their first final action in the 1920s was in 1921, when they were defeated USA Perpignan. Union Sportive des Arlequins Perpignanais ( French) or Unió Esportiva Arlequins de Perpinyà ( Catalan) generally abbreviated as USAP in Despite losing in 1921, the side went on to win the 1922, 1923, 1924, 1926 and 1927 championships.
1930s to 1950s
The following decades were relatively quiet after such a dominant era during the 1920s. Stade Toulousain would not make it to any grand finals during the 1930s, and it would not be until the late 1940s when they would return. However they did contest the Challenge Yves du Manoir with RC Toulon in 1934, though it ended in a nil-all tie and both teams were winners. The club made it to the final of the 1947 championship, and claimed the premiership, beating SU Agen, 10 to 3.
