Toulouse Olympique XIII (operating as Toulouse Olympique, TO, or TOXIII) is a professional rugby league football club headquartered in Toulouse, France, competing in the Betfred Super League - England's top-tier rugby league competition - as the sole French representative. The club plays home matches at Stade Ernest-Wallon and operates under a typical French SASP/association dual-structure governance model, with a professional entity (SASP Toulouse Rugby XIII) and an association arm (Association Toulouse XIII). The club claims consecutive championship titles from 2021 through 2025 according to its social media presence, though in the current 2026 Super League season it sits 9th on 14 points after 19 games.

The core product offering is professional rugby league entertainment structured around four revenue streams: (1) match ticket sales and 2026 season subscriptions via the billetterie.to13.com online platform and stadium box office, with general admission from 10 euros; (2) official merchandise sales through boutique.to13.com, pricing items from 4 euros (stickers) to 39 euros (tank tops); (3) broadcasting rights via the Super League+ streaming platform and Rugbyrama for live and on-demand match viewing; and (4) corporate partnerships including the Ovale 13 Business Club, main sponsors, and government-level partners. The customer base is bipartite: individual rugby league fans and supporters (primary segment for match attendance and merchandise) and corporate partners seeking brand visibility and hospitality (secondary segment).

The business model combines direct-to-consumer ticketing, e-commerce merchandise distribution, broadcast monetization through league-level deals, and B2B sponsorship. Marketing is concentrated in organic social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube, TikTok), the official to13.com website with embedded news and ticketing, an email newsletter, and live streaming via Super League+. Commercial partnership ecosystem spans automotive (Autobuy), catering (Elior Entreprises), insurance (Remptart Mutuelle), wellness (Caliceo), apparel (Ô Sports), signage (Larrieu), local media (La Dépêche du Midi, 100% Radio CMJN), regional data analytics (Predicta Lab), and institutional government partners (Mairie de Toulouse, Conseil Départemental de la Haute-Garonne, Région Occitanie). Technical architecture is conventional: WordPress-based website, WooCommerce/standard e-commerce for merchandise and ticketing, with no disclosed proprietary technology platform or AI/ML systems.
