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:
In its first season as a united team, Racing finished seventh in the National Division, equal on points with fifth-place FC Wiltz 71. They have improved their placing steadily since then, becoming challengers for the league title. In 2006-07, they finished fourth, and in the 2007-2008 season, they achieved their best ever ranking: finishing 2nd.
Racing FC qualified for UEFA European competitions once.
In the 2008-2009 season Racing played Kalmar FF (SWE) and lost 1:10 on aggregate. They lost 0:3 at home and 1:7 away with Sully Billon scoring the only goal.
Overall, Racings's record in European competition reads:
