===Divisional=== ====Philadelphia Eagles==== {{main|Eagles–Giants rivalry}} The rivalry between the New York Giants and the [[Philadelphia Eagles]] is one of the oldest in the NFL, dating back to 1933.<ref name="Brookover D1"/><ref name="Brookover D6"/> The two teams have frequently fought for playoff contention, NFC East titles, and respect. While the Giants had the edge this rivalry early on in its history, the series began to even after the 1980s, with the Eagles going 22–21 against New York through the 1990s and 2000s. Philadelphia then dominated New York in the 2010s with a 16–4 record to claim their first lead in the series. The Eagles lead the all-time series 94–89–2 as of the 2023 season.<ref>{{Cite web |title=All Matchups, New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=nyg&tm2=phi&yr=all |access-date=2024-08-05 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]]}}</ref> The two teams have met five times in the postseason, with the Giants winning two games to the Eagles three. Three of those four playoff meetings were held in the 2000s decade. [[New York City]] and [[Philadelphia]] have a strong geographic rivalry, as seen in other professional sports such as the [[Mets–Phillies rivalry]] in [[Major League Baseball]], and the [[Flyers–Rangers rivalry|Flyers–Rangers]], [[Flyers–Islanders rivalry|Flyers–Islanders]] and [[Devils–Flyers rivalry|Devils–Flyers]] rivalries in the [[National Hockey League]]. ====Washington Commanders==== {{main|Commanders–Giants rivalry}} [[File:Redskins vs Giants line of scrimmage throwbacks.jpg|thumb|The Redskins gather at the line of scrimmage against the Giants.]] The Giants have an old and storied rivalry with the [[Washington Commanders]], dating back to 1932.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/30/top-10-moments-in-the-giants-redskins-rivalry/ | work=The New York Times | first=Greg | last=Hanlon | title=Top 10 Moments in the Giants-Redskins Rivalry | date=November 30, 2008 | access-date=January 26, 2011 | archive-date=July 13, 2012 | archive-url=https://archive.today/20120713030031/http://fifthdown.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/30/top-10-moments-in-the-giants-redskins-rivalry/ | url-status=live }}</ref> While this rivalry is typically given less significance than the rivalries with the Eagles and Cowboys, there have been periods of great competition between the two. In the 1980s the Giants and Redskins, as they were then known, clashed as both struggled against each other for division titles and even Super Bowl Championships. Most notable among these is the 1986 NFC Championship game in which the Giants defeated the Redskins 17–0 to earn their first ever trip to the Super Bowl. Wellington Mara always felt this was the Giants oldest and truest rival, and after passing away in 2005, the Giants honored their longtime owner by defeating the Redskins 36–0 at home. The Giants lead this series 107–70–4 as of the 2023 season. The Giants 107 wins against the Washington Redskins are the most wins for one team against one opponent in NFL history.<ref>{{Cite web |title=All Matchups, New York Giants vs. Washington Commanders |url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/game_query.cgi?tm1=nyg&tm2=was&yr=all |access-date=2024-08-05 |website=[[Pro Football Reference]]}}</ref> ====Dallas Cowboys==== {{main|Cowboys–Giants rivalry}} The Giants have maintained a fierce divisional rivalry with the [[Dallas Cowboys]] since the Cowboys first began play in 1960. The two teams have a combined nine Super Bowl victories between them, and have played many games in which the NFC East title was at stake. The rivalry is unique among professional sports as it is the only divisional rivalry between sports teams from New York City and [[Dallas]], partially due to the large distance between the two cities. The Cowboys lead the regular season series 75–47–2,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyg/head-to-head.htm|title=New York Giants Head-to-Head Records - Pro-Football-Reference.com|website=[[Pro Football Reference]]|access-date=March 31, 2018|archive-date=November 6, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171106222937/https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyg/head-to-head.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> while the Giants hold the lone playoff victory between the two teams, held at the conclusion of the 2007 season.
