The Donegal-Dublin rivalry is a Gaelic football rivalry between Irish inter-county teams Donegal and Dublin, who first played each other in 1992. 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] Donegal's home ground is MacCumhail Park and Dublin's home ground is Parnell Park, however, all of their championship meetings have been held at neutral venues, usually Croke Park.

While Dublin have the highest number of Leinster titles and Donegal are in eighth position on the roll of honour in Ulster, they have also enjoyed success in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, having won 27 championship titles between them to date.
