The Adelaide Derby is an intra-city local derby between South Australia's two most historically successful soccer clubs: Adelaide City and West Adelaide. The two sides were the first from the state to compete at the national level when they became founding members of the National Soccer League in 1977. For more than 20 years, it was Adelaide's only intra-city derby. The rivalry was born before the national league developed and when they competed in the state's first division. Adelaide City, then known as Adelaide Juventus was a club backed by Adelaide's Italian community, while West Adelaide Hellas drew its support from the city's Greek population. Since the demise of the NSL, the two clubs have returned to South Australian competition and continue their rivalry in the National Premier Leagues.
