Football Club Auch Gers is a French rugby union club based in Auch in Midi-Pyrénées. Having won the 2006-07 Rugby Pro D2 title, they currently compete in the Top 14, the top division in the French league system. They were promoted to the top flight after winning Pro D2 in 2004, but were relegated to Pro D2 again at the end of the 2004/5 season. Founded in 1891, the club plays at Stade Patrice Brocas (capacity 7,000); its players wear red and white.
Auch was founded in 1891. They were runners-up in the 2001 Challenge Yves du Manoir competition, losing to Montferrand (now Clermont) in the final. In the 2000s they were playing in the second division on French rugby, and in the 2002-03 season they made the semi-finals toward promotion but were defeated by Montpellier. However the following season they were promoted to the top league, defeating Bayonne in the Pro D2 final.
However they were relegated back down to Pro D2 for the 2005-06 season. Nonetheless, they were also winners of the European Shield, reprechage tournament for teams knocked out in the first round of the European Challenge Cup that season. They defeated English club Worcester in the final.
