in tyrone football it has to be ardboe v moortown though its not quite as bad these days as moortown have been dwindling in a lower division for the past 10 years.

I'd say Glen and Kilcar traditionally in Donegal. Maybe not so much nowadays though.

Louth V Meath is one of the most deep rooted. meath V dub is quite new and mainly media driven...

for me its armagh v down.im from the southern end of armagh so the rivalry in my area has always been with down more than tyrone.

My club does not do rivalries, we just fight with everyone so we can't be accused of being biased !!

At one stage maybe yes but of late he's let himself go in a bad way.

Kerry v Cork

Dublin and Meath are big rivals aswell as Cork and Kerry. But this is due to the geographics.

The real big rivalries are between the two most successfull teams of all time in both codes which is Kerry/Dublin and Kilkenny/Cork!

Although not always evenly matched (like this year) I still think that these are the biggest rivalries.

Its the same in all sports. Take soccer for example. Liverpool and United is the biggest rivalry in the PL.

Meath would view Dublin as their biggest rivals with Kildare maybe second. Louth seem to think we care about them.
