New York Red Bulls Win New York City FC Win Draw
The Hudson River Derby, also known as the New York derby, is the name given to the soccer local derby between the two teams based in the New York metropolitan area, New York Red Bulls and New York City FC. First played in 2015, the rivalry between the two started almost as soon as the announcement was made of the formation of NYCFC in 2013. Early on in the rivalry's history, the Red Bulls dominated the fixture, winning the first four games in the all-time series including one 7-0. Since this game, however, New York City has gained traction in the derby, winning four of the last seven games in the season series (four out of eight in all competitions) and taking points in four of them (NYCFC had taken points in four straight league games). This derby for the most part is contested for bragging rights of being the best side in the New York metropolitan area during the current MLS regular season. The teams do not compete for a trophy like many of the older MLS rivalries, although one is planned for the 2020 season. Despite both teams appearing in the MLS Cup Playoffs since 2016, the teams have not yet met in a playoff match. On July 12, 2019, three supporters groups - Empire Supporters Club and Viking Army from the Red Bulls, and The Third Rail from NYCFC - announced the formation of the Hudson River Derby Foundation, a non-profit corporation two years in the making, that will grow, manage, and administer the annual Hudson River Derby competition between the two clubs, and will develop a physical trophy to present to the annual winner.
