The Keystone Derby Cup is awarded to the club with the best head-to-head record in Pennsylvania at the end of the USL season. The competition is currently sponsored by the Pennsylvania Lottery but does not include the third Pennsylvania-based USL club, Bethlehem Steel FC.[1] In case of a tie record, the winner of the Derby will be determined by goal differential between the two teams.[2]

History

Although they had been rivals and competed against each other in previous seasons, the inaugural Keystone Derby was officially contested between the Riverhounds and the Harrisburg City Islanders in 2015. Pittsburgh went on to win the cup in the first edition of the tournament with a head-to-head record of three wins and one loss.[3][4]
