Tyne–Tees derby


The Tyne–Tees derby is a football match between Newcastle United and Middlesbrough. There is a distance of 42 miles between both teams. In a region where there are only three major professional football clubs, it can also include a match between Newcastle United and Hartlepool United.
The derby had increased importance in the late 1990s and early 2000s, as the only North-East derby of the season, since at the time Newcastle United and Middlesbrough were Premier League teams. Both teams enjoyed a degree of success in this period: Newcastle qualified in for the Champions League and challenged for the Premier League title. Middlesbrough, with high-profile players including Juninho, Fabrizio Ravanelli, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Mark Viduka, reached five major cup finals from 1997 to 2006, including the 2006 UEFA Cup Final and lifting the 2004 League Cup.
Middlesbrough play their home games at the Riverside Stadium, while Newcastle United play their home games at St. James' Park.
