Paris derby (women)

The Paris derby (French: Derby de Paris), also referred to as Le Derby Francilien, is a French football rivalry contested between Paris Saint-Germain FC (women) (PSG) and Paris FC (women) (PFC), the two largest professional women's clubs based in Paris, France. Both PFC (formerly Juvisy) and PSG were founded in 1971, making them among the oldest clubs in French women's football.

During the 1990s and 2000s, Juvisy established itself as the dominant Parisian side, regularly competing for national championships alongside OL Lyonnes and benefiting from consistent support from the Essonne departmental council. PSG, in contrast, remained a mid-table club for much of this period, undergoing a squad overhaul in 2005 to promote young talent and restructure the team. Juvisy's sustained strength was highlighted by decisive victories over PSG, illustrating the club's superior resources and squad depth.

PSG gradually closed the gap after 2009, strengthened by key signings and the 2012 takeover by Qatar Sports Investments (QSI), which bolstered the squad and allowed the club to challenge Lyon and assert dominance in the Paris derby. Juvisy's absorption into Paris FC in 2017 created a new dynamic, with PFC seeking to compete with the top teams despite initial difficulties. Throughout the 2010s, PSG largely dominated the derby, while Paris FC emerged as a third force in French women's football during the 2020s.

The Paris derby also extends to men's football, where Paris Saint-Germain FC and Paris FC compete at the highest level. PSG was founded in 1970 and quickly became the leading professional club in the capital, while Paris FC, which split from PSG in 1972, spent decades outside the top flight. Following Paris FC's promotion to Ligue 1 in 2025, the men's derby returned to the French top division for the first time in decades, further intensifying the historical rivalry between the two clubs.
