The Cavan-Cork rivalry is a Gaelic football rivalry between Irish inter-county teams Cavan and Cork, who first played each other in 1943. The rivalry peaked during a series of meetings between 1943 and 1952.[1] Cavan's home ground is the Kingspan Breffni Park and Cork's home ground is Páirc Uí Chaoimh, however, all of their championship meeting have been held at neutral venues, usually Croke Park.
