Cork–Tyrone Gaelic football rivalry
The Cork-Tyrone rivalry is a Gaelic football rivalry between Irish county teams Cork and Tyrone, who first played each other in 1973. The fixture has been an infrequent one in the history of the championship, and therefore the rivalry is not as intense between the two teams.[1] Cork's home ground is Páirc Uí Chaoimh and Tyrone's home ground is Healy Park, however, all of their championship meetings have been held at neutral venues, usually Croke Park.
