The Cavan-Cork rivalry is a Gaelic football rivalry between Irish inter-county teams Cavan and Cork, who first played each other in 1943. The rivalry peaked during a series of meetings between 1943 and 1952. Cavan's home ground is the Kingspan Breffni Park and Cork's home ground is Páirc Uí Chaoimh, however, all of their championship meeting have been held at neutral venues, usually Croke Park.

While Cork have the second highest number of Munster titles and Cavan are the standard bearers in Ulster, they have also enjoyed success in the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, having won 12 championship titles between them to date.
