Gjorka City Union Football Club (Gjorkan: Club Claid Aontas Cathrach Ghjorka) is a Gjorkan professional football club based in Gjorka City, Gjorka. The club competes in the Gold League, and is one of the most successful teams league history, particularly in the modern era. The Athletic have won the league seven times, most recently in 2015. The club shares intense rivalries with a number of clubs including the Gjorka City Athletic, Nomakoa United, and the Nomakoa Rovers

The club was founded in 1895, and spent much of its early history in lower leagues within the league system. Before 1983, the club had only spent a total of ten seasons in the Gold League. In 1983, the club was bought by Joseph Burreaux while it was in the Bronze League, who subsequently invested millions in the club. By 1986, the club had re-entered the Gold League and by 1991 had won its first league title. Following Joseph Burreaux's death in 2010, the club was sold to Hull Tolka.
