The 1902–03 French Rugby Union Championship was won by the Stade Français, winning the final against the Stade Olympiens des étudiants Toulousains (SOET) with a score of 16–8.

The final was held on April 26, 1903, at Prairie des filtres in Toulouse and was refereed by Robert Coulon.

Qualification for the final

The Racing Club was initially positioned to become the champion of Paris (the team representing Paris in the Union Championship), having won against Le Havre A.C, but were disqualified because one of their players was not properly licensed. Subsequently, the Stade Français managed to qualify, by beating Le Havre 14–0.

SOET were the champions of the Garonne Region, qualifying after beating Stade Bordelais (8–3).
