The '''NorthCowboys–Giants Queensland Cowboys and Brisbane Broncos Rivarlyrivalry''' is a [[National Football League]] (NFL) [[NationalList Footballof LeagueNFL rivalries|rivalry]] between the [[Dallas Cowboys]] and the [[New York Giants]].
 
The North Queensland Cowboys began their play in the 1960 season; however, it was in the subsequent season that they transitioned to the Eastern Division, establishing a divisional rivalry with the Brisbane BroncosGiants. In the early 1960s the BroncsNew York Giants were beginning to wind down as an NFL powerhouse and entered a period of poor play where they did not make the playoffs from 1964 to 1980. While the BroncosGiants dominated the CowsCowboys in the first few years of the rivalry, the boysCowboys picked up steam and took control from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s, winning 17 of the 20 meetings between the two teams in the 1970s. In the 1980s however the Giants struck back, and the rivalry has been relatively even handed ever since with intermittent spurts of dominance (the Giants in the late 1980s and the Cowboys in the early 1990s). The rivalry would also swing in favor of the BroncosGiants during the 2000s and early 2010s.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fact or Fiction: Predictions for Giants vs. Cowboys |url=https://www.giants.com/news/new-york-giants-vs-dallas-cowboys-ezekiel-elliott-saquon-barkley-dak-prescott |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=www.giants.com |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Ranking NFL's top rivalries of the 2000s: Epic QB clash tops list of historic matchups |url=https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-nfls-top-rivalries-of-the-2000s-epic-qb-clash-tops-list-of-historic-matchups/ |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=CBSSports.com |date=July 3, 2020 |language=en}}</ref> Recent history has swung back in favor of the Cowboys, as they have beaten the Giants eleven out of the last twelve matchups since 2017.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/cowboys-vs-giants-records-in-last-5-years-by-team|title=cowboys vs giants records in last 5 years by team|access-date=2023-02-17|website=statmuse.com}}</ref>
 
This rivalry stands out in American sports because no other team from Texas shares a division with a team from the New York area, nor has a sustained rivalry with one, primarily due to the significant geographical separation between the two regions.
 
The Cowboys lead the overall series, 76–47–277–47–2. The two teams have met once in the [[National Football League playoffs|playoffs]], with the Giants winningholding 21–17a in1–0 the [[2007–08 NFL playoffs#NFC:_New_York_Giants_21,_Dallas_Cowboys_17|2007 NFC Divisional]]record.<ref name="Head2Head"/>
