Racing Club Warwick Football Club, nicknamed “The Racers,” is a non-league football club based in Warwick, Warwickshire.
Established in 1919, they currently compete in the Pitching In Northern Premier League Division One Midlands, which is part of the eighth tier of English football. The team calls Townsend Meadow their home ground.
After decades in the Warwick, Leamington & District and Warwickshire Combination leagues, the club lifted the Birmingham Alliance Senior Cup by defeating Birmingham City at St Andrews. It entered the West Midlands (Regional) League in 1967, then the Midland Football Combination three years later, winning that competition in 1988 and finishing runners-up in 1989 to earn promotion to the Southern League.
Formed in 1919 as Saltisford Rovers, the club adopted the title Racing Club Warwick in 1970 to reflect its racecourse-side ground. It stayed in the Southern League until relegation from the Western Division in 2003, fell again to the Midland Football Combination Premier Division in 2009 and has competed in that league’s successor, Midland Football League Division One, since.
Chairman Gary Vella’s arrival in 2016 prompted new changing rooms, floodlights, stands and an artificial training area, and the side recorded a 15-0 win on 26 December 2016. Runners-up in 2018–19 brought a first promotion in 30 years. A 3G pitch was added in 2020 for wider community use, the team reached the 2023–24 Birmingham Senior Cup final, and by 2024–25 the club oversaw extensive youth, girls’ and education programmes with local partners.
