Paris derbies

The last real and proper derby in Ligue 1 was the Paris derby in the 1989-90 season between Paris SG and Racing Club.

In total the clubs met regularly for 5 seasons, in 1984–85 and 1986–87 to 1989–90 continuously.

The occurring derbies in recent years are the ones between Paris FC, Red Star and US Créteil in the second and third tiers.
