Super XIII 2024–2025
european rugby league competition
The 2024–25 Super XIII season was the 90th season of France's domestic rugby league competition and the first as the Super XIII having previously been known as the Elite 1 Championship since 2002.
In March 2024, the French Rugby League Federation confirmed its plans to expand the top division to eleven teams in 2024–25, therefore there was no relegation from Elite 1 at the end of the 2023–24 season and the ten teams from Elite 1 were joined by Villefranche XIII Aveyron from Elite 2. The eleven teams in the competition each played 20 matches in the regular season. The top six teams then progressed to the finals series played in May 2025. The defending champions were Carcassonne who defeated Albi in the 2023–24 Grand Final to become national champions for a thirteenth time. The two teams met again in the 2024–25 final with Albi winning 26–16 to secure the first top division title for the Albigensians since winning the French Championship in the 1976–77 season.

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
