The final stages of the national club competition took place in Saint-Chamond, where the Monegasque side confirmed its dominance after already sealing promotion earlier in the season.

Having booked their spot in the final with a key victory in March, the team arrived with their sights firmly set on finishing at the top.

In the final against Digoin, Monaco delivered a strong and controlled performance, taking the win 31–19 and sealing the match before the final round was even played.

This victory marks a major milestone for the club, which will now compete in Elite 2 for the first time.

The step up represents a new challenge, with a higher level of competition awaiting when the next season begins in October.
