In many countries the term '''local derby''', or simply just '''derby''' (<small>UK:</small> {{IPAc-en|'|d|ɑr|b|i}}; {{respell|DAR|bee}} or <small>AUS/US:</small> {{IPAc-en|ˈ|d|ɜr|b|i}}; {{respell|DER|bee}}) means a sporting fixture between two teams from the same town, city or region, particularly in [[association football]]. |

==Origin== |

{{R with Wikidata item|Q3246109}} |

The phrase most likely originated from [[Derby (horse race)|The Derby]], a horse race in England, founded by the [[Edward Smith-Stanley, 12th Earl of Derby|12th Earl of Derby]] in 1780, since at least as early as 1840 'derby' has been used as a noun in English to denote any kind of sporting contest. |

Another widely reported theory, though not accepted by the Oxford English Dictionary, is that the phrase came about from the city of [[Derby]] itself.{{cn|date=May 2014}} It was renowned as a chaotic and exuberant game that 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 [[Wiktionary:free-for-all|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'. The traditional Shrovetide football match is commonplace in the town of [[Ashbourne, Derbyshire]]."<ref>[http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/City-s-Shrovetide-match-birth-local-derby-phrase/story-17187254-detail/story.html#axzz2ddonmh62]</ref> |
