Club Français won the 1896 USFSA Football Championship and the 1931 Coupe de France.

In 1900 the USFSA elected players from Club Français to represent France at the Summer Olympics.

The team (wearing the USFSA representative uniform) won the silver medal after two matches played.

In 1915, the club left USFSA to join the Ligue de Football Association, winning a Challenge de la Renommée competition during World War I.

Due to financial problems, the club abandoned the second division championship in 1934.
