The Dalmatian derby (Croatian: Dalmatinski derbi) is the name given to matches between Hajduk Split and Šibenik. It is a regional derby between football clubs from central Dalmatia’s two largest cities, Split and Šibenik. The teams are supported by their fanbases called Split's Torcida and Šibenik's Funcuti.
In these derbies the hostility is expressed between people from Split and Šibenik among themselves, because most of the inhabitants from the urban part of the city are fans of Šibenik, and from the surrounding area the supporters of Hajduk. Not infrequently this hostility could bring incidents in these games, but they pass without a large number of injured people. These derbies were played regularly since the formation of Croatian First Football League, until 2003 when Šibenik was relegated to the Croatian Second Football League and played again in 2006 when it returned to the Croatian First Football League and again regularly until 2012 when Šibenik got relegated again. These two teams have met in the final of the 2009–10 Croatian Cup when Hajduk won both matches and won the trophy which was the peak of the rivalry so far.
The derby was also played off the field, because the Hajduk's debts towards Šibenik from money of the transfer of Ante Rukavina. Hajduk was suspended many times and threatened with not playing official matches, but the suspension was delayed many times. But it all ended well for Hajduk, which is no longer under threat of suspension since it paid debts to Šibenik.
