The
Florida–Georgia football rivalry is an American
college football rivalry game played annually by the
University of Florida Gators and the
University of Georgia Bulldogs. The game was first played in 1915, and has been played every season since 1926, with the sole exception of a war-time interruption in 1943. This match-up between
Southeastern Conference opponents is one of the most prominent rivalry games in college football, and has been held in
Jacksonville, Florida since 1933, with only two exceptions, making it one of the few remaining neutral-site rivalries. The game attracts huge crowds to Jacksonville, and the associated
tailgating and other events earned it the nickname of the "
World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party".
