CA Brive Women is a French rugby union club, based in Brive-la-Gaillarde. They compete in the Élite 2 competition, which is the second division of women's rugby in France.
The women's team was created in August 2012, under the aegis of the CABCL association.[1]
As early as 2014, the Brive players won their first titles, in the Limousin championship, in the South-West sector championship, as well as in the French Federal 3 championship.[1]
Since the late 2010s, the club has supported the development of the women's team through full-time professional contract management via a dedicated sports manager in the person of Romain Cabanero, as well as the creation of a "club academy" in partnership with local high schools.[2]
At the end of the 2022–2023 season, the club won the final and thus secured its promotion to Elite 2; they also played in the 2023–2024 Elite 2 season.
