Castres XIII Rugby League Knights is a French rugby league club based in Castres, within the French region of Tarn, Midi-Pyrenees. Established in 2013, the club competed in the National Division 2 Midi-Pyrenees regional league.
History
The club was established in 2013 with the aim of introducing rugby league to the local area, particularly focusing on school children. The club operates junior as well as ladies' teams.
