Racing Louisville FC is an American professional women's soccer club which began play in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) in 2021.

The team's first acquisitions were Japanese midfielder Yūki Nagasato and American midfielder Savannah McCaskill, acquired via trade with Chicago Red Stars.[1] The team's initial acquisitions included players and player rights taken in the 2020 NWSL Expansion Draft,[2] though not all of the draft's selections agreed to contracts with Racing or reported to the club and were not rostered as a result.[3][4]
