Toulouse Olympique

In 2000 the club ended their long silverware drought when they won the championship title with a 20-18 victory over AS Saint Esteve and the following season reached the final again but lost out 32-20 against Villeneuve Leopards. Toulouse's ambition to join the Super League grew but in 2003, despite a stadium upgrade, youth development and becoming a limited company, their application was rejected by the Rugby Football League in favour of Catalans Dragons. After reverting to Toulouse Olympique the club reached two more league championship finals but lost both. In 2004/05 they were convincingly beaten by Union Treiziste Catalane 16-66 and the following season they lost again this time 18-21 against Pia XIII. In 2005 Toulouse became the first French club ever to reach the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup, when they defeated Super League side Widnes Vikings 40-24. They went on to lose 56-18 to world champions Leeds Rhinos in the semi-final at the Galpharm Stadium, Huddersfield.

In 2006, the Rugby Football League decided to introduce licensing for the 2009 Super League season, with the number of Super League clubs being increased from 12 to 14. Toulouse were one of the applicants but failed to win a licence, losing out to the 12 existing Super League clubs, Salford and the Crusaders. After the announcement however, the Rugby Football League invited Toulouse to enter the second tier Championship for the 2009 season, with a view to applying in the next round of franchising to be accepted to Super League in 2012.[3] Offering no direct route to Super League at the time, Toulouse's spell in the Championship lasted three seasons. In their first campaign, 2009, the season was acclaimed a success with them winning 9 games which included a record 5 match winning run this despite being beaten heavily on the opening round of matches live on television at Widnes Vikings 0-70.[4]

The second season saw improvement and but for an end of season blip which saw the club lose their last 6 games they could have reached the end of season play-offs, beating league leaders Featherstone Rovers live on television was their best result and performance.[5] at the end of 2011 it was announced that the club would be withdrawing from the Championship and returning to the French league from the 2012 season onwards.

Toulouse returned to the French Elite One Championship in 2012. They failed to make the championship final in the 2012-13 season but won a league and cup double the following season, 2013/14, winning 38-12 against Lézignan Sangliers in the league and beating AS Carcassonne 46-10 in the cup. They then retained their league title when beating AS Carcassonne 20-12.

In 2015, it was announced that Toulouse Olympique would return to the English rugby league system after they were accepted to play in League 1 from the 2016 season in their second bid to be promoted into Super League. A Toulouse presence would remain in the French Elite One league when Toulouse Broncos who were in the 2nd tier were taken over by Olympique and renamed Toulouse Olympique Broncos

Toulouse went unbeaten during the League 1 2016 season but lost in the promotion final to Rochdale Hornets. They entered the playoffs as a result and were successful, beating Barrow Raiders to win promotion to the championship. They did not compete in the 2021 Challenge Cup.[6]
