The Imphal Derby (Manipuri: ꯏꯝꯐꯥꯜ ꯗꯔꯕꯤ꯫) refers to the football matces between NEROCA and TRAU. Both play at the Khuman Lampak Stadium in Imphal. Amongst the most successful clubs in Manipur, they have won a combined 20 honours: 10 for NEROCA and 10 for TRAU.

The derby is contested between NEROCA and TRAU, and was first played on 8 January 2020, in which TRAU emerged as the maiden winner of the derby by the scoreline of 2–1. The derby had already begun even before the inclusion of TRAU in I-League, when the two local rivals contested against each other in Manipur State League. The Imphal Derby gained fame in 2022 during the 131st edition of Durand Cup when competitive football returned to the city after COVID-19 pandemic in India.[1][2]

The derby is so popular in Manipur that the Government of Manipur declared a half-holiday for all governmental and educational institutions in build-up to the match on 18 August,[3] in which TRAU was defeated by NEROCA 3–1 in Group C opener.[4]
