Racing Club de France is a football club based in Paris. These days the club can be generally found playing in the Championnat de France Amateurs, which is the fourth tier of French football league system.

The club is a historic team of French football, with a complicated history. Its halcyon days were in the 1930s and 40s, when it won the Division 1 in 1936, and the Coupe de France in 1936, 1939, 1940, 1945 and 1949. The club was also successful at the beginning of the 1960s, finishing twice runner-up of Division 1 in 1961 1962. The club was bought in the 1980s by French businessman Jean-Luc Lagardère who wanted to build a team of stars but it was a failure. Since Lagardère departure, the club tries to regain its fame, playing at an amateur level.
