Born in Bayonne, Ugartemendia played his rugby for Basque club Saint-Jean-de-Luz Olympic.[2]

Ugartemendia, a hooker, was a member of the France squad on their 1974 tour of Brazil and Argentina. He played against Brazil, but didn't feature against the Pumas, which were the only capped matches. His two official caps both came during the 1975 Five Nations, against Scotland and Ireland, while he was a reserve on a further eight occasions.[3]
