East Anglian Derby

The East Anglian derby is a sobriquet used to describe football matches held between Ipswich Town and Norwich City. In recent years it has sometimes been described humorously as the Old Farm derby, a reference to the Old Firm derby played between Celtic and Rangers. According to the Football Rivalries Report 2008, the East Anglian derby is the second fiercest rivalry in England after the Black Country derby between West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

There have been 138 instances of the derby, with Ipswich winning 59 to Norwich's 53. The most recent matches were in the 2010–11 season, when Norwich won both games, 4–1 at Carrow Road and 5–1 at Portman Road.
