The Eagles–Giants rivalry is a National Football League (NFL) rivalry between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants. The rivalry began in 1933 with the founding of the Eagles, and slowly strengthened when both teams came to relative prominence in the 1940s and 1950s. The two teams have played in the same division in the NFL every year since 1933, making it the second-oldest rivalry in the NFC East division, behind only New York's rivalry with the Washington Commanders.[3] The ferocity of the rivalry can also be attributed to the geographic New York-Philadelphia rivalry, which is mirrored in Major League Baseball's Mets–Phillies rivalry and the National Hockey League's Flyers–Rangers rivalry.[4] It is ranked by NFL Network as the number one rivalry of all-time[5] and Sports Illustrated ranks it amongst the top ten NFL rivalries of all-time at number four,[6] and according to ESPN, it is one of the fiercest and most well-known rivalries in the football community.[7]
