The club was founded in 1906 by a group of youngsters in the Neudorf neighborhood of what was then Straßburg, Elsaß, in Germany, but is today Strasbourg, Alsace, in France.

In the aftermath of World War I the territory of Alsace-Lorraine came to France and on 11 January 1918 the club adopted the name Racing-Club Strasbourg-Neudorf until becoming simply Racing Club Strasbourg later in the year reflecting regulations that restricted the use of the German language and placenames in the region. World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All Alsace-Lorraine (Reichsland Elsaß-Lothringen generally Elsass - Lothringen) was a territorial entity created by the German Empire in 1871 RC joined French competition and by 1926 had captured its first title as champions of Alsace.

On June 10, 1933, at the restaurant de la Bourse, the club made the jump to the professional ranks. Several months later, they reached Division 1 for the first time, after a pair of two-leg matches, first against FC Mulhouse (0:0 and 3:1), and then against AS Saint-Étienne (2:0 and 4:4).

The Alsace region was reconquered by Germany soon after the outbreak of World War II and in August 1940 the team took up play as Rasensportclub Straßburg in the Gauliga Elsaß, a top flight division in German football. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including For the main article see Gauliga Overview The league was introduced in 1940 after the French defeat and the German RSC captured their division in 1941 and participated in the national finals where they were put out in the first round by FC Mülhausen. FC Mulhouse is a French football club based in Mulhouse, Alsace. The team earned second place results in each of the following two seasons and made an appearance in the opening round of the DFB Pokal (German Cup) in 1942. The DFB-Pokal ( Deutscher Fußball-Bund-Pokal or German Football-Federation Cup is an elimination football tournament held annually

Allied armies retook Alsace in 1944 and the club quickly resumed play as Racing Club Strasbourg. They remained in first division competition until, at the end of the 1948-49 season, it appeared the side would be relegated. However, neighbouring club SR Colmar liquidated their professional team, leaving room for Racing to stay up.

That reprieve was only temporary. Following the worst ever season in the clubs history in 1951-52, Racing was sent down to Division 2. Ligue 2 is the second division of French football. It is one of two divisions making up the LFP, the other being Ligue 1, which is France's top The Bleus earned a measure of redemption in defeating US Valenciennes 3:0 in the French Cup final to claim their first major trophy.

On April 4, 1970 they merged with AS Sportive Cultureele de la Meinau to briefly become Racing Club Strasbourg Meinau. On 3 June they entered into a second union, this time with CS des Pierrots 1922 Strasbourg, to form Le Racing Pierrots Strasbourg Meinau. The club spent the early 70s moving up and down between first and second division play. On 15 October 1976 they assumed their old identity as Racing Club Strasbourg.

Recent history

The Bleu's success was short-lived, and after several seasons of middling results, Racing was returned to second tier play in 1986 where they remained through the balance of the decade. After defeating Stade Rennais FC in 1991 by a score of 4;1, Strasbourg returned to the top flight. Stade Rennais Football Club is a French football club from the city of Rennes, will play their 48th season in Ligue 1 (the top French division In 1995 they made a losing appearance in the final of the French Cup, but still merited a place in 1996 European Cup play. The team reached the last sixteen, where they were put out by Italian giants AC Milan. Associazione Calcio Milan, commonly referred to by the abbreviation Milan, is an Italian professional football club based in Milan, Lombardy

In 1998 RC showed some promise of earning a good result early in the season, but ultimately settled for a 9th place finish. That same year, the IMG Group was chosen by the municipality to take control of the club. The players trained by the captain of the 1979 French champions, Jacky Duguépéroux, went on to capture the League Cup by defeating FC Girondins de Bordeaux. Jacky Duguépéroux (born January 2, 1948 in Saint-Malo, France) is a former French football player FC Girondins de Bordeaux is a French football team playing in the city of Bordeaux.

Racing remained a competitive side and in 2001 captured their third French Cup in a final versus Amiens SC. Amiens Sporting Club ( Amiens SC) is a French Soccer club based in Amiens, currently playing in Ligue 2, the second highest

After a season in "purgatory" in 2001/2002, Racing re-took its place among the football elite in the Hexagon by finishing runners-up in Ligue 2.

The 2002/2003 season, in which Racing would come to finish in an encouraging 13th place, would be marked by the withdrawal of the IMG group and the arrival of a new and ambitious group led by Egon Gindorf, who succeeded Patrick Proisy as president, and by Marc Keller, named General Director.

Placed under the title "recapture", the 2003/2004 season needed to allow Racing to stabilize the club amongst the national elite and to win the favor of the Alsatian public once again.

In 2005, Racing won their second domestic trophy in four years when they beat Caen 2-1 in the final of the League Cup, a feat which provided them with a passport to the 2005/6 UEFA Cup.

Following the 2005-06 season, Racing were relegated into the Second Division. Jean-Pierre Papin took over from Jacky Duguépéroux, signing a two-year deal to coach the club as they look to return to the top flight. Jean-Pierre Papin (born November 5, 1963 in Boulogne-sur-Mer) is a French former football player and now manager [1] They were successful in their quest, taking the third promotion place by one point over Amiens SC.
