One City, One Club was a European association football regulation. The rule states that only one team would be able to enter European competition per city.

History
The rule was applied as the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup was established initially for cities that hosted trade fairs. The rule was abolished in 1970 when UEFA took over the running of the competition from the 1971-72 season and renamed it the UEFA Cup Winner's Cup. However UEFA retained the rule for the UEFA Cup until 1975.

Exmaples
In Scotland, Clyde qualified for European competition. However because Glasgow based Rangers had qualified above them, theey could not enter under the rule. Clyde tried to argue on a technicality, that geographically they were in Rutherglen and not Glasgow. UEFA rejected this citing that they were not members of the Lanarkshire Football Association that governed football in Rutherglen and because they partook in the Glasgow Cup.
