Central Uruguay Railway Cricket Club, known as CURCC, was a sports club from Uruguay, founded on September 28, 1891 in Montevideo, the country's capital. CURCC was the result of the decision of the British railway company in Uruguay to have a sports club. As a matter of fact, the colours of the club were inspired in the railway signs.

The club reached important achievements in the 1890s and the first decade of the twentieth century, founding the league and the AUF.
