In many countries the term local derby, or simply just derby (pronounced 'dur-bee' in American English and 'dar-bee' in British English after the city of Derby) means a sporting fixture between two (generally local) rivals, particularly in association football. Derby (pronounced "dar-bee" /dˈɑːbɪ/ is a city in the East Midlands of England. Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a Team sport played between two teams of eleven players and is widely considered In North America, "crosstown rivalry" is a more common term. For example, the "Tyne-Wear derby" in the north-east of England is Newcastle United versus Sunderland AFC, which can be very hostile and in 1996 led to all fans from each city being banned from the other during derby day. The Tyne-Wear derby is the name of the football Local derby between Newcastle United and Sunderland. Newcastle United Football Club (also known as The Magpies or The Toon) is an English football club based in Newcastle upon Sunderland Association Football Club is a professional Association football team based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England, which plays in The term is sometimes also used to describe major rivalries in which both clubs have substantial regional or national followings. A sports rivalry is intense competition between athletic teams or athletes

The phrase may have originated from an all-in football game (Royal Shrovetide Football) contested annually between the two halves of the English town of Ashbourne, Derbyshire. Football is the word given to a number of similar Team sports all of which involve (to varying degrees kicking a Ball with the foot in an attempt to score a The Royal Shrovetide Football Match occurs annually on Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday in the town of Ashbourne in Derbyshire, England Ashbourne is a small picturesque market Town in the Derbyshire Dales, England. This match has been and still is played on Shrove Tuesday. Shrove Tuesday is the term used in Ireland the United Kingdom Australia and Canada to refer to the day after Shrove Monday (or the more old fashioned Collop Monday Another theory is that it originated from The Derby, a horse race in England, founded by the 12th Earl of Derby in 1780. A derby (pronounced "dar-bee" /dɑːbɪ/ in most of the English-speaking world and "dur-bee" /dɚbɪ/ in North American English) is a type of horse race Edward Smith-Stanley 12th Earl of Derby ( 12 December 1752 &ndash 21 October 1834) was a British peer and politician of the late Yet another theory is that the 'derby match' saying arose from when Liverpool played Everton. Their two grounds were separated by Stanley Park, owned by the Earl of Derby. This latter suggestion can be discounted, however. The Widnes Weekly News of 9 March 1889 describes a game between the (rugby) football team of that town and the touring Maoris as 'the local Derby'. This usage was three years before Liverpool FC came into existence.

Another widely reported, and somewhat more plausible theory (although not accepted by the Oxford English Dictionary) is that the phrase came about from the city of Derby itself. Derby (pronounced "dar-bee" /dˈɑːbɪ/ is a city in the East Midlands of England. The traditional Shrovetide football match was also common place in the city. It was renowned as a chaotic and exuberant game which involved the whole town and often resulted in fatalities. The goals were at Nuns Mill in the north and the Gallows Balk in the south of the town, and much of the action took place in the Derwent river or Markeaton brook. Nominally the players came from All Saints' and St Peter's parishes, but in practice the game was a free for all with as many as 1,000 players. A Frenchman who observed the match in 1829 wrote in horror, 'if Englishmen call this play, it would be impossible to say what they call fighting'.

Another theory is that the term applies, not to the match itself but to the size of the crowd. In the early years of the twentieth century, the largest sporting crowd in England was at the annual Derby horserace meeting where in excess of half a million people would pack Epsom Downs to watch the race. At that time football matches were attended entirely by 'home' supporters - the concept of the 'away supporter' lay many years into the future as the largely working class crowds could not afford to follow their teams around the country. Supporters watched the first team and reserves who were 'at home' on alternate Saturdays. The only exception came when two teams from the same town played one-another. Then the 'home' supporters of both teams would turn up, producing the largest gate of the season. The term 'local derby' was coined by the press as an analogy to the Derby race crowd. In time the expression came to refer to the match rather than the size of the crowd.

The only thing that is generally accepted is that the term is in some way linked to the county of Derbyshire.

Derbies usually have a much more heated atmosphere between the fans and often the players of the two clubs. For some derbies, an added source of tension between the two clubs can be political or sectarian rivalry. Sectarianism is Bigotry, Discrimination, Prejudice or Hatred arising from attaching importance to perceived differences between subdivisions

An example of sectarian rivalry is in the Old Firm derby between the two leading clubs of Glasgow in Scotland. The term Old Firm refers to the rivalry between the Scottish football teams Celtic and Rangers, both based in Glasgow Glasgow (ˈglæzgoʊ is the largest city in Scotland and third most populous in the United Kingdom Scotland ( Gaelic: Alba) is a Country in northwest Europethat occupies the northern third of the island of Great Britain. The Old Firm Derby is arguably the biggest derby match in sport, due to the profile of the clubs and their historic rivalry. It should be noted that the Old Firm normally takes place four times per season in the Scottish Premier League, thereby making it a more common fixture than other major derbies. The Scottish Premier League, currently known as the Clydesdale Bank Premier League for sponsorship reasons and often known as the Premier League or SPL In the matches between Celtic and Rangers, the two clubs are widely perceived as respectively representing the Catholic and Protestant populations of Glasgow. The Celtic Football Club is a Scottish football club based in the east end of Glasgow, which currently plays in the Scottish Premier League. Rangers Football Club are an Association football team based in Glasgow Scotland, who currently play in the Scottish Premier League. Protestantism refers to the forms of Christian faith and practice that originated in the 16th century Protestant Reformation.

'Derby' is commonly used to signify matches between teams in the same town or region, however historical national rivalries, such as Ajax Amsterdam v Feyenoord are sometimes also considered derbies as well as major football rivalries. Amsterdamsche Football Club Ajax ( also referred to as AFC Ajax, or simply Ajax, is a professional football club from Amsterdam Feyenoord is a professional football club located in Rotterdam. This article deals with major football rivalries around the world

Ironically Derby itself does not have a football rivalry within the City as there is only one major club Derby County F.C.. Derby County Football Club is a professional football club based at Pride Park Stadium in Derby England. At one point there was a rivalry within the city between Derby County and Derby Midland, however the two clubs merged. Their main football rival is generally seen as Nottingham Forest, a team from the nearby city of Nottingham. History The rivalry between the two clubs was not initially a great one Nottingham Forest Football Club is an English professional football club based at the City Ground in West Bridgford, a suburb of Nottingham
