Cork–Donegal Gaelic football rivalry

The Cork–Donegal rivalry is a Gaelic football rivalry between Irish county teams Cork and Donegal, whose first championship meeting was 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 MacCumhaill Park; however, all of their championship meetings have been held at neutral venues, usually Croke Park.
