Eternal Derby (Croatian: Vječni derbi) or Croatian Derby, (Croatian: Hrvatski derbi) is the name given to matches between the two biggest and most popular Croatian football clubs Dinamo Zagreb and Hajduk Split. The rivalry can be traced back to 1920s when Zagreb's Građanski and Hajduk often clashed in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia championships. After World War II, Građanski was disbanded by the authorities, and Dinamo Zagreb was formed to take its place, retaining its colours. The two clubs soon became part of the "Big Four" of Yugoslav football (the other two being Crvena Zvezda and Partizan from Serbia) ever since the Yugoslav championship was established in 1946 (both clubs spent their entire existence playing top-flight football). This lasted until 1991, when Croatia declared independence so clubs started competing in the Prva HNL, which saw its first season being played in 1992. Since 1992 Dinamo and Hajduk won 16 out of 17 Croatian championship titles, as well as 13 out of 17 Croatian cups, which makes them by far the most successful and popular clubs in Croatia. Due to various formats that were used in the Croatian championship (which currently employs a three-round robin format) and the cup competition format (which has teams playing two-legged fixtures even in the final game) and in addition to the games played in the supercup, there can be anywhere from three to six derbies per season. As of June 2009, there have been 74 derbies played in total since the establishment of the Croatian championship in 1992, with Dinamo winning 32 and Hajduk 26 games, while 16 matches ended in a draw.
