The France national under-20 rugby union team, also called France under-20s or France U20, is the national under-20 side of France, controlled by the French Rugby Federation and nicknamed Les Bleuets, the little blues. It replaced the former Under 19 and Under 21 teams, and its first tournament was the 2008 Six Nations under-20 championship, where it finished third. It has won that competition in 2009, 2014, 2018 and 2025, with a Grand Slam in 2014, and it has played in the inaugural IRB Junior World Championship and every edition since, winning the world title three times in a row in 2018, 2019 and 2023. The team is regarded as a feeder for the senior France national team and tends to play in medium-sized stadiums around the country.
