You remind me that as teenagers my cousin Bryan and I got ourselves qualified as netball umpires.

As for schools, the USC Trojans vs. UCLA Bruins, as well as the Michigan Wolverines vs. Ohio State Buckeyes, which in fact, is the oldest rivalry in ncaa history.
 
One of the biggest rivalries in the NFL is the Oakland Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs.

Portsmouth vs Southampton (or vice versa Smile) used to be the big one, and still would be except that for the last 70-odd years they have rarely been in the same division at the same time.
 
Actually the rivalry between the towns has been going on longer than most modern countries have existed.
 
 
(Anyone advance on 800-odd years?)
 
NB The Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race takes some beating. Pretty well everyone in Britain used to take one side or the other, even if they'd never been near either place.

Go Devils (I'm a Jersey boy what can I say)!

For me at least the big rivalries goes as such:

Yankees/Red Sox
New York Jets/Patriots
Devils/NY Rangers


Those are the big ones for me. Go Yankees, Jets, and Devils.
Those be fightin' words!Angry

Back home, Al-Hilal, the master of asian clubs regrettablly, and Al-Nasr is the most competative game though it has been played down in recent years because Al-Hilal is in its best years after winning 6 asian titles in 8 years while we only won two and lost two Angry.

Baseball:
Boston Red Sox/ New York Yankees
LA Dodgers / San Francisco Giants


NFL:
New England Patriots / Indianapolis Colts
Green Bay Packers / Minnesota Vikings

College Sports:

Duke University / University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Spain:
FC Barcelona vs. Real Madrid

Those are the big ones I can think of right now...


The Bears vs Packers rivalry is much more intense than the Vikings - Packers one.

Montreal Canadiens - everyone else
I don't know the History between the two, but when the Canadiens and Bruins play, I always see comments. I guess it could be the Original 6 thing, but I don't see that with Toronto.
To bad the Quebec Nordiques are gone, could still have the battle of Quebec. Now we have the Battle of Albetera, Edmonton Oilers vs Calgary Flames.

Great rivalries need opponents who regularly despise the other. Some are old standouts who left their worst behind. Some are just itchin for a fight but could be rather cordial in best of times and some are
getting accustomed to all out war.
 
 
Old Glory
 
Ali - Frazier
Celtics - Lakers
Steelers - Raiders
Montreal Canadiens - everyone else
Notre Dame - anyone else
Yankees and everyone else
 
In Hibernation
 
Red Wings - Avalanche
 
 
New dipsutees
 
Colts - Patriots
Spurs - Mavericks
Hillary - Obama
 
 
Traditional Titans still hungry for blood
 
Auburn - Alabama
Michigan - Ohio State
Yankees - Red Sox
Betman - NHLPA

Country is debatable, but for state (minnesota) it is definitely Vikings and Packers. (american football)  Especially, the border with Wisconsin only half an hour/45 minutes from Minneapolis, since there are a ton of traitors who are packer fans here.  That is the only major one that comes to mind for state rivalries.
