The 49ers–Giants rivalry is an American football rivalry between the San Francisco 49ers and the New York Giants. It is one of the great inter-division rivalry games in the National Football League (NFL). The two teams do not play each other every year; instead, they play at least once every three years and at least once every six seasons at each team's home stadium, sometimes more often if the two teams finish in the same place in their respective divisions or meet in the playoffs. Since 1982, the 49ers and Giants have met eight times in the postseason (including two NFC Championship Games), tied for the most times two teams have met in the playoffs in the NFL since that time (with 49ers–Packers being the other).
The Giants have won 17 regular season games while the 49ers have won 18 and both have won 4 postseason games against each other. However, San Francisco leads the overall series 20–12 since 1980. CBS Sports ranked this rivalry as the No. 1 NFL rivalry of the 1980s.
