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.

It took part in all the competitions organised by the USFSA, gaining a reputation as one of the most important clubs in the country between 1896 and 1904, during which it won a domestic league, one Dewar Cup and six Manier Cups.

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