Dinamo–Rijeka derby is the name given to matches between Dinamo Zagreb and Rijeka. The teams are supported by their fanbases called Zagreb's Bad Blue Boys and Rijeka's Armada.
Games of note are the 1993–94 Croatian Football Cup final when Dinamo won the trophy and the 2013–14 Croatian Cup, 2016–17 Croatian Football Cup, 2018–19 Croatian Football Cup finals when Rijeka won. Dinamo has been by far the more successful side, which is evident in several long winning streaks throughout the derby's history. However, Rijeka remained unbeaten in 23 consecutive home league fixtures from August 1964 until May 1994. While player movement between the two clubs has always occurred, it intensified since the mid-1980s, when Dinamo acquired many of Rijeka's best players. This trend has abated over the past decade.
Due to various formats that were used in the Croatian championship 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 has been anywhere from two to six derbies per season. For example, as many as six derbies have been played between April and November 2004. Due to Rijeka's absence from the Yugoslav First League, no derbies were played between 1947 and 1958 and 1969 and 1974.
