Racing Football Club Union Luxembourg (Luxembourgish: Racing Football Club Union Lëtzebuerg), usually abbreviated to Racing FC, is a football club, based in Luxembourg City, in southern Luxembourg.
It was formed in 2005 as an amalgam of three clubs from Luxembourg City: CA Spora Luxembourg, Union Luxembourg, and CS Alliance 01. Its heritage is further complicated by the ancestry of those three clubs, all of which were formed by mergers:
- CA Spora Luxembourg was formed by the merger in 1923 of Racing Club Luxembourg and Sporting Club Luxembourg.
- Union Luxembourg was formed by the merger in 1925 of US Hollerich Bonnevoie and Jeunesse Sportive Verlorenkost.
- CS Alliance 01 was formed by the merger in 2001 of FC Aris Bonnevoie and CS Hollerich.
In its first season as a united team, Racing finished seventh in the National Division, equal on points with fifth-place FC Wiltz 71.
