While initially established as a cricket club, Lanús later added a football team. That squad competed officially during the first years of football in Argentina, playing in the top division, Primera División, from 1897 to 1899,[1] and then returning in 1913 before being dissolved in 1914.[2]
Along with other clubs that practised football in the Lanús district (such as Lanús United and Talleres), Lanús A.C. is considered a predecessor of Club Atlético Lanús, founded in 1915.[3]
