The A49 derby is a football rivalry between Hereford United and Shrewsbury Town.[1] In 2014 Hereford United reformed as Hereford F.C. and although they yet to meet Shrewsbury in a match the two sets of supporters remain rivals.

The derby was listed as the nineteenth fiercest rivalry in English football by The Daily Telegraph.[2]
