In [[Football in England|English football]], the '''Devon derby''' is a term used to describe any match between [[Devon]]'s three professional football clubs: {{English football updater|PlymoutA}} side [[Plymouth Argyle F.C.|Plymouth Argyle]], {{English football updater|ExeterCi}} side [[Exeter City F.C.|Exeter City]] and {{English football updater|TorquayU}} side [[Torquay United F.C.|Torquay United]].

==History==
The first meetings between [[Plymouth Argyle F.C.|Plymouth Argyle]] and [[Exeter City F.C.|Exeter City]] were in the [[1908–09 Southern Football League|1908–09 season]]; it was Exeter's first season after being elected into the [[Southern Football League]]. The two sides met three times that season, twice in the league and another time in the [[1908–09_FA_Cup#Second_round_proper|second round of the FA Cup]]. Exeter triumphed in the first ever meeting of the two sides, 2-1 at [[St James Park (Exeter)|St James Park]] in November 1908. In February 1909, Argyle triumphed in the FA Cup tie, 2-1 at [[Home Park]], before winning the second league game 4-0 just a month later.

Whilst Argyle and Exeter had been professional clubs, the town of [[Torquay]] was home to three separate amateur clubs: [[Torquay United F.C.|Torquay United]], [[Ellacombe F.C.|Ellacombe]] and [[Babbacombe F.C.|Babbacombe]]. Ellacombe merged with United to form [[Torquay Town F.C.]] in 1910, with the hope that the merger would bring similar successes to Torquay as Argyle and Exeter had experienced, but the outbreak of [[World War I]] halted that. When the regular football season resumed following the war, Babbacombe finally gave in in 1921 and merged with Torquay Town to reform as [[Torquay United F.C.|Torquay United]]. Torquay United were eventually voted into the Football League in 1927, where they met both Argyle and Exeter in competitive football for the first times. Their first meeting with one of the other sides saw them face Exeter at [[Plainmoor]] on 27 August 1927 - the game resulted in a 1-1 draw. On 5 November 1927 Torquay faced Argyle for the first time, losing 2-1. On [[New Year's Eve|NYE]], Torquay lost 5-0 to Exeter at [[St James Park (Exeter)|St James Park]], and then on 17 March 1928, Argyle completed the double over their new rivals, winning 4-1 at [[Home Park]].

The three Devon sides remained in the same [[Football League Third Division South|division]] until 1930, when Argyle were promoted into the [[Football League Second Division|Second Division]], where they remained until their relegation back into the third tier for the 1950–51 season.

In recent history, Torquay won a league double over Argyle in the [[2011–12 Football League Two|2011–12 season]], before the three sides were reunited in the [[2012–13 Football League Two]] season following [[Exeter City F.C.|Exeter City]]'s relegation from League One. Torquay were relegated to the [[National League]] at the end of the 13–14 season and haven't faced either Argyle or Exeter in competitive games since. Argyle and Exeter however remained in the same [[EFL League Two|league]] until Argyle's promotion into [[EFL League One|League One]] ahead of the 17–18 season.
