Lyford Cay Football Club is a Bahamian football club based in Lyford Cay while playing its home game in the capital Nassau. The team plays in the BFA Senior League. The team is also known by its nickname of the Ospreys (the Dragons until 2015), to distinguish it from a second Lyford Cay FC that has simultaneously played in the BFA Senior League (as recently as 2013–14) nicknamed the "Warriors".^[1] The Warriors serve as the reserve team for the Ospreys.

The club was founded in 1989 and has grown significantly over the past twenty-five years moving from a school based football program to an established football club and registered member of the Bahamas Football Association (BFA).

Lyford Cay FC won its first National Championship in 2013–14. Building on this title, the team became the first Bahamian team to compete in the CFU Club Championship in 2015.
