It is currently used for rugby league by Villeneuve Leopards as their home ground in the Elite One Championship.

The Stade Max Rousie was built and opened in 1955 for the primary use of the local rugby league team US Villeneuve XIII.

Situated on the left bank of the river Lot, near the Lycee Georges Leygues, the stadium was given a major refurbishment in 2011.

At this time, the sports complex was renamed in honour of Max Rousie, a former SA Villeneuve XIII player and French international.

The stadium currently hosts sports including rugby league, athletics, basketball, tennis, and pelote basque.
