Gryf Wejherowo is a Polish semi-professional football club in Wejherowo, Poland. The club plays in the Polish Second League (II liga). It was founded as TS Kaszubia in 1921, but after World War II the club was renamed Gryf Wejherowo.
Gryf Wejherowo is the oldest football club in Pomeranian Voivodeship, and for several years was the only club in the region playing in the Polish Third League (III liga). It is well known in Poland for reaching the 2011–12 Polish Cup quarterfinals after beating clubs from the Polish Premier League (Ekstraklasa) and the Polish First League (I liga).
Gryf Wejherowo is not a popular club in Poland, and its fans are not well organised. Previously there was an ultras group of supporters called Żółto-czarni – which prepared banners, flags, and chanted at all of the matches – but dissolved after supporters started to boycott Gryf Wejherowo because of a conflict with the club's management. Gryf's fans are friendly with Kaszubia Kościerzyna and Orkan Rumia supporters. The latter of the two is also one of Gryf Wejherowo's local rivals. Some of the Gryf fans are also Arka Gdynia fans.
Gryf Wejherowo does not just have one or two rivals, but has several clubs that clearly have feelings of animosity towards them. Some of the more notable rival clubs are Bałtyk Gdynia and Bytovia Bytów. Matches involving these two rivals often feed to a lot of anticipation and antagonistic promotion, and extra security. Gryf Wejherowo has local friendly rivalries. Orkan Rumia and Orlęta Reda are two local rivals located in Wejherowo County and compete against Gryf Wejherowo in the Kashubian Tricity local derby.
