Latrobe Athletic is a professional multi-sports club known primarily for its rugby union and football teams, which both play in Kelssek's highest leagues, the Rugby Superleague and Kelssek Football League, respectively. Known for most of its history as Latrobe AFC, the club made the controversial decision to go by "Latrobe Athletic" in 185 FE.

Both the rugby and football team have provincial rivalries with Clayquot-based teams. The rugby section has contested the People's Cup challenge trophy against the Clayquot Reds for over 150 years. The football section's version of this rivalry is against Clayquot City. Latrobe Athletic was the first Kelssek sports club to have reached an international final, losing in the 35th Rugby Union Challenge Trophy to the Torino Terriers of Neu Engollon.

On the football side, with Nepharan manager Warner Dranz taking the helm Latrobe was also the first Kelssek team to reach an international club football final, losing to FC Yassaca in Challengers Cup 6. Dranz went on to deliver the club's first league championship in 16 years by winning the 69th KFL season.
