The Tyne–Wear derby, also known as the Wear–Tyne derby or the North East derby, is a local derby between the association football clubs Sunderland and Newcastle United. The derby is an inter-city rivalry in North East England with the two cities of Sunderland and Newcastle upon Tyne just 12 miles (19 km) apart. Sunderland play their home matches at the Stadium of Light whilst Newcastle play their home matches at St. James’ Park. The first meeting of the two sides took place in 1883, with the first competitive fixture being an FA Cup tie in 1888 which Sunderland won 2–0 over Newcastle East End. ℹ️

A football derby is a highly charged match between longstanding rival teams, typically from the same city or region. Derbyist is a website that makes it easy to see which derbies are coming up in leagues around the world. The website also has historical results and links to video highlights of past derbies.
This site is a labor of love by Jerry Brito. It's a fun hobby project, but it does cost a couple hundred dollars a year to run. So, if you'd like to show your appreciation by throwing in a few bucks, it would mean a lot.
Here is a list of all the derbies and rivalry matches that we track. We are working to expand the depth of historical results and to include links to video highlights if they're available.
We have aimed to include the most famous derbies and rivalries, but obviously we can't track every derby in the world. To help us fairly limit what we track, we only include in our database derbies or rivalries that have a page in English language Wikipedia. For example, here is the Wikipedia page for the Old Firm.
We very much welcome you letting us know if we've missed a derby. To get in touch, just reply to any issue of the Derbyist newsletter. Please include a link to the English language Wikipedia page for the derby in question. (See answer to previous question.) If there is no Wikipedia page, feel free to create one. If the new page successfully becomes part of Wikipedia we will happily add the matchup to Derbyist.
