The Hudson River Derby, [2] [3] also known as the New York derby, [1] is the name given to the soccer local derby between the two teams based in the New York metropolitan area, New York Red Bulls and New York City FC. First played in 2015, the rivalry between the two started almost as soon as the announcement was made of the formation of NYCFC in 2013. [4] [5]

Early on in the rivalry's history, the Red Bulls dominated the fixture, winning the first four games in the all-time series including one particular fixture, commonly referred to as 'The Red Wedding', in which the Red Bulls won 7–0. In 2017, however, New York City has began to gain traction in the derby, going undefeated in all three meetings and finishing above the Red Bulls for the first time. Over the course of the following season, New York City began to establish themselves as a consistent Playoff side while the Red Bulls had already been qualifying for the Playoffs. This enhanced the rivalry further, leading to tense and sometimes heated encounters between the two sides. One of which was a back and forth 1-1 draw in August of 2018 with the Red Bulls and New York City going into the match 2nd and 3rd in the East respectively. The encounter saw multiple red cards and fouls over the course of the match. 2019, another controversial match saw the Red Bulls defeat New York City 2-1 in Red Bull Arena, with the match being referred to as ‘Throw-In Gate’ as miscommunication from the referee to the players led to the Red Bulls taking a 2-1 lead and winning the game. Following the pandemic, the rivalry seemed to lessen in intensity yet there were some meaningful encounters including a 1-1 in 2021, which saw two red cards and the Red Bulls score the equalizer in the 101st minute, the latest goal scored in the history of the MLS Regular Season. Another crucial encounter in 2022, saw New York City and the Red Bulls square off in the quarterfinal of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. The game is remember for the Red Bulls winning 3-0 three red cards shown. In 2023, the two sides met in the Leagues Cup, the first ever encounter in a continental cup competition. The Red Bulls won 1-0. This derby for the most part is contested for bragging rights of being the best side in the New York metropolitan area during the current MLS regular season. [6] [7] [8]

On July 12, 2019, three supporters groups—Empire Supporters Club and Viking Army from the Red Bulls, and The Third Rail from NYCFC—announced the formation of the Hudson River Derby Foundation, a non-profit corporation two years in the making, that will "grow, manage, and administer the annual Hudson River Derby competition" between the two clubs. [9] [6] On September 9, 2023, the Hudson River Derby Foundation unveiled the physical trophy to be contested by the clubs, a representation of the Statue of Liberty's torch. [10]

History

Red Bull Arena during the Red Bulls' 4–1 victory over New York City

New York City has a significant history with top level club soccer including the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League, the most successful team in that competition's history. [11] With New York's position as the most populous city in the United States, it was likely that when Major League Soccer (MLS) was founded in 1993, with play due to start in 1996, one of the founder clubs would play in the New York metropolitan area. [12] This club, initially named as Empire Soccer Club, [13] eventually started play in the 1996 MLS season as the NY/NJ MetroStars.

Since its start, MLS has engaged in a steady process of expansion from its initial ten clubs until 2010, when the league announced its intention to award its 20th franchise to New York City. [14] Unlike the MetroStars, which were renamed as the New York Red Bulls following the franchise's purchase by Red Bull GmbH in 2006, the plan for the second New York franchise was for it to play in the city – the MetroStars began their existence playing in Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, before moving to a purpose built soccer-specific stadium in Harrison, Red Bull Arena. [15] The 20th franchise was eventually awarded in 2013 to a consortium of the City Football Group and Yankee Global Enterprises, with the new club being given the name New York City FC. [16]

New York City FC began play in the 2015 MLS season. The first league meeting with the Red Bulls was scheduled for May 10 at Red Bull Arena. The buildup to the game saw an increasing level of antagonism between both the clubs and their respective supporters groups, with the Red Bulls emphasizing their history from the start of MLS as opposed to the new club, with NYCFC pointing to the fact that they are the only club to play within the five boroughs. [17] The first meeting between the two, in front of a capacity crowd, saw striker Bradley Wright-Phillips score the first goal in a 2–1 win for the Red Bulls. [18] Subsequent to this game, there were two further league meetings between the teams, at Yankee Stadium and Red Bull Arena, both resulting in wins for the Red Bulls. NYCFC won their first game against the Red Bulls at the fifth time of asking on July 3, 2016, at Yankee Stadium. [19] The Red Bulls 7–0 win at Yankee Stadium in 2016 is tied for the highest victory margin in MLS history. [20] During a 3–2 New York City FC victory, David Villa recorded the derby's first ever hat trick on August 6, 2017. [21]

In 2017, the Red Bulls and New York City FC played their first exhibition game and the first derby match in which it was played in a neutral stadium. The match was part of the 2017 Desert Diamond Cup in Tucson, Arizona with the match taking place on February 15, 2017. The Red Bulls won against New York City FC 2–0, with Sacha Kljestan scoring both goals to the Red Bulls on that game. Neither both NYFC and NYRB failed to go to the Consolation round as both teams ended at the bottom. [22]

Fans

A variety of supporters clubs and groups have grown around the Red Bulls since the team started. The first of these was formed in 1995, prior to the inception of the team itself, as the Empire Supporters Club. 2005 saw the creation of the New Jersey-based Garden State Supporters, now the Garden State Ultras (GSU). The 2010 season's influx of personnel with a Scandinavian background led to the creation of the Viking Army Supporters Club. The Red Bulls have designated some sections of Red Bull Arena as supporter specific. These included sections 101 for the Empire Supporters Club, 102 for the Viking Army, and section 133 for the Garden State Supporters. Sections 133, 101, and 102 are collectively known as the "South Ward". [23]

New York City FC's first official supporter group, The Third Rail, began to form after the club's announcement in May 2013, when fans met through social media, and through member drives and viewing parties for 2014 FIFA World Cup matches. It had registered 1,000 members by September 20, 2014. [24] Although the group operates independently from the club, it was recognized as the official supporter group and has received exclusive access to two sections in Yankee Stadium. Group president Chance Michaels said the name reflected the group's desire to "power NYCFC" the way the third rail powers the New York City subway system. [25] Since the team started, unofficial supporters groups have sprung up, including Brown Bag SC and Hearts of Oak. [26]

Even from the beginning of NYCFC's time in MLS, the rivalry between the supporters has been intense, with social media used extensively by both sets of fans to exchange insults and vitriol. [27] Following the first meeting between the two sides at the Red Bull Arena, the Red Bulls cut the ticket allocation for away fans by two thirds for the next meeting at the venue, as a result of the behavior of NYCFC fans; NYCFC fans were equally damning of Red Bulls fans during their first visit to Yankee Stadium. [28] Prior to their third and final league meeting of the 2015 season, the first reported incident of violence between the two sets of fans occurred at a gastropub in Newark frequented by members of the Garden State Ultras. [29]

Transactions

To date, only one trade has occurred between the two teams. On December 11, 2014, the Red Bulls sent Ryan Meara on a one-year loan to NYCFC for the rights to Sal Zizzo, who had been selected from Sporting Kansas City in the 2014 MLS Expansion Draft the previous day. [30] Meara returned to the Red Bulls after the 2015 season.
