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.
