The Dodgers–Yankees rivalry is one of the biggest rivalries in Major League Baseball. The Los Angeles Dodgers are a member club of the National League (NL) West division, and the New York Yankees are a member club of the American League (AL) East division. The teams have met 12 times in the World Series, more than any other two teams, with the Yankees winning eight times. The rivalry began in New York City, when the Dodgers played in Brooklyn and the Yankees in the Bronx. After the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958, the rivalry continued as the teams represented two of the largest cities on each coast of the United States. Fan support has added to the notoriety of the series as both teams are supported by two of the largest fanbases in North America.
Although the rivalry's significance arose from the two teams' numerous World Series meetings, the Yankees and Dodgers did not meet in the World Series between 1981 and 2024. They did not play each other again in a non-exhibition game until 2004, when they played a three-game interleague series. Nevertheless, games between the two teams have drawn sellout crowds.
The two teams met in the 2024 World Series for the first time in 43 years, with the Dodgers winning the series in 5 games.
