The Ovalies Unilasalle association was founded in 1994 and is celebrating its 28th anniversary this year. It has a rich history written by thousands of students coming from France and Europe to share the values of rugby and solidarity.
The city of Beauvais, through its stade Marcel Communeau
, transformes into the capital of European university rugby.
From communication to logistics, including entertainment and catering, we carry out all these missions ourselves. This is what makes our association and our event unique. When it was created, the idea was clear: to organize a major rugby tournament with a charity goal.
“For the first time, students are giving up the benefits of a protest and working with an association to promote a cause. »
Today everything has evolved but nothing has changed.

Les Ovalies de Beauvais is more than a European university rugby tournament, it is a human adventure...
I did not expect coming here to Beauvais to see such energy, so many people mobilized. I am very happy to see that there are young people who undertake and make such an event exist.
I thought my biggest regret was losing in the World Cup final, today my biggest regret is not playing at the Ovalies!
I didn't hesitate to say yes. It's a nice university tournament, a nice party, and then it plays good rugby.
It's professional, it's serious, it's friendly, I must say hats off… really!!
Proud to have been the Godfather of the 24th Ovalies UniLaSalle alongside Imanol Harinordoquy and a big congratulations to Guillaume Marre and his teams for their remarkable work. Thank you also for the funds collected for the benefit of the associations: Asso Comme les Autres, Life is Rose and Etoile des Neiges.
I am particularly honored to see that the next generation is assured and that rugby is also a way of bringing men together for such a beautiful cause as humanitarianism. May the party be beautiful!
When friendship and sportsmanship are sources of generosity.
Rugby conveys many values such as respect, humility and solidarity. If it can also help to advance humanitarian work, that's great!
