Catalan Dragons are based in Perpignan, France.

This rugby league club, known as Dracs Catalans in Catalan, calls Stade Gilbert Brutus home at Avenue de l'aérodrome, CS 60012, 66027 Perpignan. They've built a fierce reputation there since 2000, competing in the British Super League as the only non-English team, and even clinched the 2018 Challenge Cup—the first French side to do so.

Quick Facts

  • Location : Perpignan, Pyrénées-Orientales department, southern France (near the Spanish border in Catalonia region).
  • Stadium : Stade Gilbert Brutus, capacity around 9,000, with expansions for Super League play.
  • Why "Catalan"? Represents broader Catalonia, including matches in nearby areas like Carcassonne early on, but Perpignan remains HQ.

Team Background

Founded amid rugby league's growth in France, the Dragons rose fast—joining Super League in 2006 after buying Paris Farduet's spot. Picture a dragon emblem roaring over the Pyrenees: they've hosted epic clashes, like that Wembley triumph over Warrington Wolves (20-14). As of 2026, they stay a powerhouse, blending French flair with British grit.

Common Confusions

Don't mix with Barcelona's dragon statues—those are Gaudí-inspired myths, not the rugby squad. The team reps northern Catalonia (French side), not Spain proper.

TL;DR: Perpignan, France—Stade Gilbert Brutus is dragon central.
