Kobe Regatta & Athletic Club, Sports organization in Kobe, Japan.

The Kobe Regatta & Athletic Club is a sports club in Chuo Ward, Kobe, founded in 1870 and now based at Isogami Park. Its clubhouse, rebuilt after the 1945 air raid and moved to the park in 1962, serves as the base for a club that introduced football, field hockey, cricket, rugby, the crawl swimming stroke and ten-pin bowling to Japan.

Founded in 1870 by Alexander Cameron Sim, the Kobe Regatta & Athletic Club stands as Japan's oldest sports organization, hosting the country's first official football match on February 18, 1888 against Yokohama Country & Athletic Club.

The club serves as a cultural bridge between international and local communities by offering English language classes taught by native speakers and organizing events like Swiss cheese and wine picnics that foster cross-cultural exchanges.

Located seven minutes walking distance from Sannomiya Station, the club provides accessible facilities including a clubhouse with two bars, restaurant, indoor sports hall, event spaces, and ample nearby parking for visitors and members.

During the 1995 Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, Kobe City Hall temporarily operated from the club's second floor, issuing disaster victim certificates and demonstrating the organization's role as a community crisis response center.
