'''''L'Équipe''' (; French for "The Team") is a French nationwide daily newspaper devoted to sport, owned by Éditions Philippe Amaury. The paper is noted for coverage of association football, rugby, motorsport, and cycling. Its predecessor, L'Auto, was founded by wealthy conservative industrialists to undermine Le Vélo, which they found too progressive. It was a general sports paper that also covered the auto racing which was gaining popularity at the turn of the twentieth century.
L'Auto'' launched the Tour de France road cycling stage race in 1903 as a circulation booster. The race leader's yellow jersey () was instituted in 1919, reflecting the distinctive yellow newsprint on which ''L'Auto'' was published.
