Jerusalem Derby
The Jerusalem derby refers to football matches between Jerusalem-based teams Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Jerusalem. The teams have met on 70 separate occasions, 58 of which were in the league, 6 in the State Cup, two in the Toto Cup and one Exhibition game in 1969 that Hapoel win. Beitar Jerusalem has been the more dominant side in the derby, with 32 wins, while Hapoel Jerusalem won 16 times. Both clubs play in Teddy Stadium, a stadium ironically named after Jerusalem's left leaning mayor at the time Teddy Kollek.

The rivalry stems from the political differences of the two clubs on the political spectrum as both represent opposites of the spectrum, with Hapoel representing left-wing Israeli Labor Party, Labor voters, and Beitar representing right-wing Likudniks.
