The Cork-Tyrone rivalry is a Gaelic football rivalry between Irish inter-county teams Cork and Tyrone, who first played each other in 1973. 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] Cork's home ground is Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Tyrone's home ground is Healy Park, however, all of their championship meetings have been held at neutral venues, usually Croke Park.

While Cork have the second highest number of Munster titles and Tyrone are fourth on the roll of honour in Ulster, they have also enjoyed success in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, having won 10 championship titles between them to date.
