Harbour View Football Club (nickname: "Stars of the East") is a Jamaican football team, that currently plays in the Jamaican National Premier League. HVFC plays home games at Harbour View Stadium.
Founded along with the Harbour View community in the 1960's, the professional Harbour View F.C. was officially established in 4 March 1974. The team was officially incorporated as a limited liability company 25 years after that, and was the first Jamaica football club to become incorporated.
Harbour View Football Club has developed a reputation for firsts in Jamaica. It is the first club to have a website, and the first to build a world-class football stadium (capable of hosting night games). The HVFC management is also setting the pace in bringing true professionalism to Jamaicas football landscape. At the start of the 2006/2007 season, the club's equipment was sponsored by Adidas.
The club generates revenues through sponsorships, match tickets, and other businesses such as stadium bars and western union.
