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.
