Which stadium hosted the 1954 Rugby League World Cup final?

The Parc des Princes hosted the 1954 Rugby League World Cup final.

The final took place in Paris on 13 November 1954, when Great Britain defeated France 16–12. The match was played at the Parc des Princes, a major stadium with a long association with French sport. Its setting gave the first World Cup final a prominent stage in the host nation’s capital.

The 1954 competition was the inaugural Rugby League World Cup and featured Great Britain, Australia, France and New Zealand. France’s appearance in the final made the occasion especially significant for the home crowd, even though Great Britain became the first world champion.

The Parc des Princes has since been rebuilt and redeveloped several times, so the modern stadium is not physically identical to the venue used in 1954. It remains in Paris and is best known today as a football venue, particularly as the home ground of Paris Saint-Germain. Rugby league references to the final identify it by its historic name.
