[edit] History

The club was formed in 1915 following the merger of IrÃºn Sporting Club and Racing Club de IrÃºn. The former was founded in 1902 as IrÃºn Foot-Ball Club, changing its name in 1907. The latter, formed in 1908, had already won the Copa del Rey in 1913 beating Athletic Bilbao 1-0 in a replayed final. The club was briefly known as Union Club IrÃºn before Alfonso XIII gave the club royal approval. During the Second Spanish Republic the club reverted to this name. Real Union have subsequently won the Copa del Rey three further times, beating Real Madrid in 1918 and again in 1924. In 1927 they defeated Arenas Club de Getxo in the only all-Basque final to date. They were also runners-up in 1922, losing 5-1 to FC Barcelona in the final. The club were relegated from the Primera Division in 1932.

In 1920 when Spain made their international debut at the Olympic Games, the club provided the squad with three players - Egiazabel, Vazquez and Arabolaza. Another Real UniÃ³n player, RenÃ© Petit, took part in the same Olympic Games with France. More recent Spanish internationals Javier Irureta and Roberto LÃ³pez Ufarte both began their career with the club.
