The {{nihongo|Osaka derby|大阪ダービー|Ōsaka dābī}} is the local derby in Osaka Prefecture, Japan, between fierce rivals Cerezo Osaka (based in Osaka City) and Gamba Osaka (based in Suita).{{cite web |title=Hiroaki Okuno double sends Cerezo past Gamba in Osaka derby |url=https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2022/05/22/j-league/cerezo-gamba-derby-okuno/ |work=The Japan Times |date=22 May 2022 |access-date=13 April 2024}}

History

In the 1970s, Yanmar Diesel, co-founder of the Japan Soccer League in 1965, had its reserve squad, Yanmar Club, play in the JSL's Second Division.{{cite web |title=Club History |url=https://www.cerezo.jp/club/history/ |publisher=Cerezo Osaka |access-date=25 March 2025}} At the end of 1979, the reserve club was closed by the parent company. Most of its players and staff found refuge when Matsushita Electric Industrial took them in with the aim of forming a new club to compete in the JSL. The new Matsushita Electric SC was formed initially playing in Nara and over the years began moving into Osaka for games.{{cite web |title=Club History |url=https://www.gamba-osaka.net/c/club/history.html |publisher=Gamba Osaka |access-date=25 March 2025}}{{cite web|title=The story behind the Osaka derby|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/1717/editorial/2014/04/11/4745187/the-story-behind-the-osaka-derby|work=Goal.com|access-date=21 January 2016}}

The two clubs met in the 1982 and 1984 Emperor's Cups – both won by Yanmar – before their first league meeting during the 1986–87 season. At the time, newcomers Matsushita Electric struggled and ended up being relegated; they did not return until 1988–89 season. At the end of 1990–91 season, Yanmar lost top division status for the first time. Matsushita Electric, who had already applied to take part in the new J.League, was chosen instead to be the representative of Osaka in the new league, taking the name Gamba Osaka.

After competing for three seasons in the old Japan Football League, Yanmar Diesel, which had taken the name Cerezo Osaka in 1994, was promoted to the J. League. Since then, both clubs meet in every top division season except in 2002, 2007 to 2009, and 2015 to 2016, when Cerezo competed in second division, as well as in 2013, when Gamba did the same.
