Stade Pershing (French pronunciation: [stad pɛʁʃiŋ]) was a multi-purpose stadium in the Bois de Vincennes in Paris, France. It was used mostly for football matches and hosted the final of the Coupe de France on four occasions. It hosted the Inter-Allied Games in 1919 and the first Women's World Games in 1922. It also hosted some of the football matches during the 1924 Summer Olympics. The stadium was able to hold 29,000 spectators at its height; it opened in 1919 and closed in 1960. Its area currently hosts baseball games.
Construction of the stadium was originally contracted to a French firm. However, labour disputes stopped all work. At this time, the engineers of the United States Army intervened and completed construction.[1] It hosted the Inter-Allied Games, and then was presented as a gift from the US to France after the games concluded. At the June 22, 1919 inauguration ceremony, YMCA Chief Secretary Edward Clark Carter delivered the stadium to General Pershing, who in turn, immediately presented the deed to French Minister of Marine Georges Leygues.[2]
An exhibition match at Stade Pershing between the England and Australian national rugby league football teams in December 1933 (won 63–13 by the Australians) as part of the Australian teams 1933–34 Kangaroo Tour, inspired the beginnings of rugby league in France.[3]

Le stade Pershing est un stade construit en 1919 et situé dans l'est du bois de Vincennes à Paris, non loin de l'hippodrome du même nom et de l'INSEP. Il est nommé ainsi en l'honneur du militaire américain John Pershing. Initialement un stade de 30 000 places destiné au football, au rugby et à l'athlétisme, il est devenu un complexe abritant diverses disciplines sportives. Le club parisien du Puc baseball et des Patriots de Paris sont entre autres actuellement résidents du terrain annexe destiné à ce sport.[ru] Персен
