West Ukrainian football derby was an unofficial competition as part of the Ukrainian Premier League that consisted of series of rivalries in the region of western Ukraine.
This derby started with the establishment of the Ukrainian Premier League in 1992.
Most of the time the clubs that performed the best in the derby were far from being a successful season overall in the League.
After 2001 new participants such as Zakarpattia and Lviv replaced other teams in the rivalry.
From the initial top level participants only Karpaty and Volyn continue to perform in the premiers.
