The rivalry between Ajax and PSV, most commonly known as De Topper (sometimes Dè Topper), is one of the main football rivalries of the Netherlands. It is between Ajax, of Amsterdam and PSV, from Eindhoven and is highly contested. Although not as charged as De Klassieker, the rivalry between the two sides has increased in intensity over the past four decades.{{Cite web|url=http://www.ajax.nl/Ajax-TV/Samenvatting-PSV-Ajax.htm |title=Samenvating PSV-Ajax |publisher=ajax.nl |access-date=6 May 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111230101001/http://www.ajax.nl/Ajax-TV/Samenvatting-PSV-Ajax.htm |archive-date=30 December 2011 }}{{Cite web|url=http://ajax.netwerk.to/historie/tegenstander.php?id=10 |title=Ajax results by opponent: PSV|publisher=ajax.network.to |access-date=6 May 2014}}{{Cite web|url=http://psv.netwerk.to/historie/tegenstander.php?id=44 |title=PSV results by opponent: Ajax|publisher=psv.network.to |access-date=6 May 2014}}
