The fixture between Djurgårdens IF and Hammarby IF is a local derby in Stockholm, Sweden. This important football rivalry traces its origin back to a tug-of-war tournament in 1894.^[2]

There is a certain social aspect in the Hammarby - Djurgården rivalry. Hammarby consider the formerly working-class neighbourhood of Södermalm, where their former home ground Söderstadion is situated, their stronghold. Djurgården count Östermalm, an affluent neighbourhood that forms the eastern part of the city centre, and where their former home ground Stadion is situated, as their stronghold. (Both clubs also maintain a cross-town rivalry with AIK, whose stronghold is the northwestern Stockholm urban area, where their home ground is situated.)

The two teams did not meet for five years (2010-2014) when Hammarby played in the second tier Superettan with Djurgården remaining in Allsvenskan. In 2013, both Djurgården and Hammarby moved into the newly built Tele2 Arena located in Johanneshov, just south of the city centre. This increased tensions significantly between the two sets of fans.
