The term '''North derby''' is sometimes used to emphasise their relative geographical proximity, when matches are played between [[Scotland|Scottish]] [[association football|football]] clubs [[Aberdeen F.C.|Aberdeen]] and [[Inverness Caledonian Thistle F.C.|Inverness Caledonian Thistle]].<ref name="North derby">{{cite web | url =  http://www.afc.co.uk/articles/20100930/inverness-ct-v-aberdeen-_2260392_2170964 | title =  Inverness CT v. Aberdeen | publisher =  RedWeb, Aberdeen FC | access-date =20 February 2013}}</ref> The clubs first met in a [[Scottish League Cup]] tie played on 8 August 1998. Inverness first entered the [[Scottish Football League]] in 1994 alongside fellow [[Scottish Highlands|Highland]] side [[Ross County F.C.|Ross County]], forming the [[Highland derby]]. However, Inverness progressed over the next 10 years to form a rivalry with Aberdeen, after winning promotion to the [[Scottish Premier League]] in 2004.

The match is considered to be a derby despite the fact that the two cities are over 100 miles apart. Aberdeen have no immediate rival geographically, although they have a longstanding [[Aberdeen F.C.–Rangers F.C. rivalry|rivalry]] with [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]] and [[New Firm (Scotland)|another]] with [[Dundee United F.C.|Dundee United]], who have frequently competed with them for Scottish major trophies.

Before Ross County were promoted to the SPL in 2012, the lack of an alternative derby opponent for both clubs led to the development of the rivalry. Due to the redevelopment of the [[Caledonian Stadium]] to meet SPL standard, Inverness had to share [[Pittodrie Stadium]] with Aberdeen during the first half of the [[Scottish Premier League 2004-05|2004–05 league season]].

Initially, the match has also been given an edge by Aberdeen enjoying a long unbeaten record against Inverness, partly thanks to a remarkable number of very late goals. This record was finally ended on the opening day of the [[Scottish Premier League 2008-09|2008–09 league season]] when Inverness won 2–0 at Pittodrie. Other notable matches between the two clubs include a [[Scottish Cup 1999–2000|Scottish Cup tie in 2000]]. Aberdeen beat Inverness after a replay in the round after Inverness had caused a great shock by beating [[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]].<ref name="3-1 Celtic">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sport/football/636000.stm|publisher=BBC Sport website|title=Caley's minnows slay Celtic|date=8 February 2000}}</ref>

The clubs met on 16 March 2014 in their most high-profile game to date, the [[2014 Scottish League Cup final]], with Aberdeen winning on [[Penalty shoot-out (association football)|penalties]] after a 0–0 draw [[Overtime (sports)|(aet)]].<ref name="League Cup Final">{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26502621|publisher=BBC Sport website|title=Aberdeen win Cup on penalties|date=16 March 2014}}</ref>
