North-west Derby (Ireland)

North-west Derby (Ireland)

The North-west Derby is the name of the association football match played between Finn Harps and Derry City. Although Sligo Rovers also play in the northwest of Ireland, the clubs' respective games with this team are not considered to represent the playing of the traditional Northwest Derby. It has been hotly contested on a season-to-season basis since Derry's inception into the League of Ireland in 1985, with the rival clubs often meeting on a number of occasions during the one season.
