The Cork-Donegal rivalry is a Gaelic football rivalry between Irish inter-county teams Cork and Donegal, who first played each other in 2006. The fixture has been an infrequent one in the history of the championship, and therefore the rivalry is not as intense between the two teams.[1] Cork's home ground is Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Donegal's home ground is MacCumhail Park, however, all of their championship meetings have been held at neutral venues, usually Croke Park.

While Cork have the second highest number of Munster titles and Donegal are seventh on the roll of honour in Ulster, they have also enjoyed success in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, having won 9 championship titles between them to date.
