RKC Waalwijk (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌɛr.ka.ˈseː ˈʋaːɫ.ʋɛi̯k]) is a football club currently playing in the Eredivisie. Its name is derived from 'Rooms Katholieke Combinatie' (Roman Catholic Combination in Dutch) and was a fusion club of HEC, WVB and Hercules.
History
The club was formed on 26 August 1940 and used to play its home games at Sportpark Olympia. Its new stadium, the 7500 seater Mandemakers Stadion was opened in 1996 and featured the home match against Roda JC. While considered as one of the Eredivisie's smaller clubs, it nevertheless maintained its top flight status for many years. Its home colors are yellow and blue.
At the end of the 2006–07 season, RKC Waalwijk were relegated from the Eredivisie after a defeat in play-offs against VVV-Venlo.
On 3 June 2009 they were promoted to the Eredivisie division after a win in the play-offs against De Graafschap. Though, their spell didn't last long ending in the last place with only 15 points. In the season followed they would finish first in the Eerste Divisie promoting back in the top flight of Dutch football.
