The A62 derby is the name of a football derby that is given to matches played between Huddersfield Town and Oldham Athletic.[1]

The two clubs are separated by roughly 15 miles and are located close to the M62 motorway crossing the Pennines in the historic counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire respectively, making it a traditional 'War of the Roses' clash.

Although neither club considered the other as a major rival until more recent times, with Huddersfield having more traditional rivalries with fellow Yorkshire clubs such as Leeds United, Bradford City and Barnsley, and Oldham with traditional Lancashire clubs such as Bolton Wanderers, Manchester City and Blackburn Rovers, a lack of competitive fixtures against these clubs led to increased significance and intensity in the fixture, particularly when both clubs spent a number of seasons in the same division whilst vying for promotion from the third tier.

The first game between Huddersfield and Oldham was played in the First Division of English football during the 1920-21 season[2]

The highest ever attendance involving the two clubs was set on the 9th January 1932 when 30,607 watched a 1-1 draw at Oldham's Boundary Park in a third round FA Cup tie.[3]
