PSG RL played its first official game against Sheffield Eagles on 29 March 1996, which also marked the first game in Super League history.[5][8] Built on an unconventional template, the team did not prove financially viable and disbanded after two seasons. The Super League re-entered the French territory in 2005, this time opting for a traditional market team, the Catalans Dragons, which has been considerably more successful.[9]
