Ipswich vs Norwich FIFA Soccer 95 Sega Genesis

The East Anglian derby is a sobriquet used to describe football matches held between Norwich City and Ipswich Town, the only fully professional football clubs in the neighbouring East Anglian counties of Norfolk and Suffolk respectively. In recent years it has sometimes been humorously called the Old Farm derby,[1] a reference to the Old Firm derby played between rival Glasgow clubs Celtic and Rangers,[2] and to the prominence of agriculture in East Anglia. The derby has been described as the second-fiercest rivalry in England.[3][4]

Including friendly meetings, there have been 148 instances of the derby overall with Ipswich winning 60 to Norwich's 58. In competitive meetings, the balance tips equally narrowly the other way with Norwich having won 47 to Ipswich's 45. The series began in the early 20th century, when both clubs were amateur organisations, with the first derby between the two professional clubs taking place in 1939. The most recent was on 10 February 2019, which Norwich City won 3–0 at their ground, Carrow Road. It has been more than thirteen years since Ipswich won the derby: their last win was on 19 April 2009, a 3–2 at Portman Road, and they have not won at Carrow Road since 5 February 2006.[5]

Winning the derby is one measure used to determine which club from the region can declare itself the "Pride of Anglia".

As of the 2022–23 season, Norwich play in the second tier of English football and Ipswich play in the third tier. Therefore for the immediate future the next competitive derby would be if the two teams are drawn together in a cup competition.
