The concordance genus of \\(K\\), \\(g_c(K)\\), is defined as the least genus of any knot in the concordance class of \\(K\\). It clearly satisfies \\(g_4\\leq g_c(K) \\leq g_3(K)\\), where \\(g_3\\), \\(g_4\\) denote the \\(3\\)-genus and \\(4\\)-genus, respectively. In this paper the author introduces a new invariant to study the concordance genus, called the stable concordance genus of a knot, which is defined as \\(\\underrightarrow{g_c(K)}:= \\lim_{n \\to \\infty} {g_3(nK)}/{n}\\), where \\(nK\\) denotes the connected sum of \\(n\\) copies of \\(K\\). This is is defined in a similar way as the stable 4-genus \\(\\underrightarrow{g_4(K)}\\), defined by \\textit{C. Livingston} [Algebr. Geom. Topol. 10, No. 4, 2191--2202 (2010; Zbl 1213.57015)]. Clearly \\(\\underrightarrow{g_c(K)}\\leq g_c(K)\\), but they may be different. It follows from the subaditivity of \\(g_c\\) that \\(\\underrightarrow{g_c}\\) is multiplicative, that is, \\(\\underrightarrow{g_c(mK)}=m\\underrightarrow{g_c(K)}\\). Any two concordant knots have the same stable concordance genus, so \\(\\underrightarrow{g_c}\\) can be considered as a function on the concordance group \\(\\mathcal{C}\\). The invariant can be extended, by multiplicativity, to \\(\\mathcal{C}_\\mathbb{Q}=\\mathcal{C}\\otimes \\mathbb{Q}\\). It follows that \\(\\underrightarrow{g_c}\\) is a function which is multiplicative, subadditive and non-negative, thus it is a seminorm. It is shown that \\(\\frac{1}{2}| \\sigma (K)| \\leq \\underrightarrow{g_c(K)} \\leq g_c(K)\\). In particular if \\(K\\) is slice, then it is stably slice, that is \\({\\underrightarrow{g_c(K)}=0}\\). In fact, any knot which has finite order in \\(\\mathcal{C}\\) is stably slice. The concordance polynomial of a knot \\(K\\) is the maximal degree polynomial which divides the Alexander polynomial of all knots concordant to \\(K\\), it is denoted by \\(\\Delta_K^c(t)\\). It is shown that \\(\\frac{1}{2}deg(\\Delta_K^c) \\leq g_c(K)\\). These criteria are used to calculate the stable concordance genus for all prime knots with 8 crossings or less (except for \\(7_7\\), \\(8_1\\), \\(8_{13}\\) and \\(8_{21}\\)). Then using these criteria, the stable concordance genus is calculated for knots of the form \\(xT_{2,n}+yT_{2.m}\\), where \\(T_{2,p}\\) denotes the \\((2,p)\\) torus knot. Namely, \\(\\underrightarrow{g_c}(xT_{2,n}+yT_{2.m})= \\frac{| n| -1}{2}| x | +\\frac{| m| - 1}{2}| y |\\), where \\(n,m\\in \\mathbb{Z}\\), \\(n
