Notable players of the club include Roger Marche, Oscar Heisserer, Thadée Cisowski, Raoul Diagne, Luis Fernández, Maxime Bossis, David Ginola, Luís Sobrinho, Pierre Littbarski, Enzo Francescoli, Alfred Bloch, and Rubén Paz.

Diagne spent a decade with the club (1930–1940) and, in 1931, was the first black player on the France national team.

He played in the 1938 FIFA World Cup with Abdelkader Ben Bouali, his Racing teammate who was one of the first North African players on the national team.

From 2009 to 2012, the club moved to nearby Levallois-Perret after reaching a financial agreement with the commune.

[2] Racing's zenith was the 1930s and 1940s, when the club won Ligue 1 in 1936 and the Coupe de France in 1936, 1939, 1940, 1945 and 1949.

[4] Despite assistance from Levallois, Racing was relegated to the Championnat de France amateur 2 by the DNCG in July 2010 after it was determined that the club had a €500,000 debt.

On 21 November 2010, Racing Levallois and UJA Alfortville announced plans to merge for the following season.
