UVV Utrecht is a sports club based in Utrecht, the Netherlands. It was founded in 1902 in a merger between several clubs that date back to 1893.[3][4] In 2009, the club removed its former acronym, Utrechtse Voetbal Vereniging (Utrecht Football Association), and is now known by the three letters UVV.[5] The club has teams in the following sports: football, tennis, baseball, softball, and beach volleyball.

The baseball team competes in the Honkbal Hoofdklasse, the top Dutch league.[6] The team plays at the Sportpark Paperclip.[5] The UVV baseball stadium has a capacity of 1,000. The baseball team was formerly named UVV Pickles due to an advertising agreement.[7] The club rejoined the Hoofdklasse in 2023, replacing Silicon Storks.[8]

The club's top men's football team competes in the amateur Vierde Klasse, the ninth tier of Dutch club football.[9] The women's team plays in the amateur Eerste Klasse, the fourth tier of Dutch club football.[10]
