Founded in 1945 by
Norbert Issaly, who would be the new club's first chairman, and
Raymond Rouviere who was the club's first secretary,
Cahors XIII as they were then called had a tough start to life. The new club had no ground as the local rugby club opposed them and blocked their attempts to access any land and for their first match at
Lavardac XIII the club had to borrow shirts from
US Villeneuve XIII. The green and white shirts borrowed would remain the club colours until 1990. A home ground was finally secured when they were allowed to use the playing fields at a local school,
Gambetta High School whose head teacher was a rugby league fan. For season 46/47 the club moved to their own stadium the
Stade Lucien Desprats which they have used ever since. Sadly in 1959 the club disbanded and wasn't resurrected until 1969 when local businessman
Louis Baldy reformed the club under a new name
AS Cadurcienne. In season 74/75 the newly named club won their first trophy when after beating
Realmont XIII 9-8 in the
National League 1 they were promoted to the top flight. After relegation from the top flight, the club in 1984 were relegated from the 2nd tier and found themselves in the
National 2. In 87/88 they won the league and were promoted back to the 2nd tier
National League 1, In the final they beat
RC Lescure-Arthes XIII 17-8. The following season they reached the league semi-finals but lost out to
Pamiers XIII. A change of colours to the cities blue and white didn't bring with it any good luck as a major sponsor pulled out of the club in 1992 leaving them in severe financial trouble, relegation to the bottom tier soon followed. A decade in the
National 2 division followed, in which only a play-off defeat to
Le Barcares XIII, 10-29, in 1999 got them anywhere near promotion. In 2004 it was announced that
AS Cadurcienne and
Villefranche de Rouerge XIII would join forces to become
Union Villefranche-Cahors abbreviated to
UVC and that they compete in the top tier
Elite One Championship. In 2007 the partnership was ended and
Cahors Lot XIII were born and began life in the bottom tier
National Division 2. In season 2012/13 they reached the
Midi-Pyrenees regional final against
Gratentour XIII == Stadium ==
