The Donegal-Mayo rivalry is a Gaelic football rivalry between Irish inter-county teams Donegal and Mayo, who first played each other in 1992. The fixture has been an infrequent one in the history of the championship, however, the rivalry intensified during a string of championship encounters between 2012 and 2015.[1] Donegal's home ground is MacCumhail Park and Mayo's home ground is MacHale Park, however, all of their championship meetings have been held at neutral venues, usually Croke Park.
While Mayo have the highest number of Connacht titles and Donegal are eighth on the roll of honour in Ulster, they have also enjoyed success in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, having won 5 championship titles between them to date.
