Club Gimnàstic de Tarragona, commonly referred to as Nàstic,

The club was founded on 1 March 1886 by a group of fifteen people who met at the Cafè del Centre on Rambla Nova. The majority of the club's early members belonged to the upper middle classes and, as the club name suggests, it was initially founded to promote gymnastics. Later the club members also began to organise fencing, hiking, boxing and cycling. In 1914, the club absorbed a local football club called Club Olímpic de Tarragona and consequently formed its own football team, using the former colours of Olímpic: red, white and black. In those days, it played home matches in the Avenida Catalunya stadium.

In January 1918, Gimnàstic made its debut as a football team in the Championat de Catalunya and, by 1927, were crowned champions of its second division. In 1943–44 the team first appeared in Tercera División and, in the following season, was promoted to Segunda División.

In the 1946–47 season Nàstic finished second in the second division and, the following campaign, arrived in La Liga. In 1947 it also reached the Copa del Generalísimo semi-final but lost to RCD Espanyol, having beaten FC Barcelona in the previous round.
