club match

Team versus team

A club match is a competitive game or contest between sports clubs, as opposed to matches between national teams or individual players.

The term appears most often in cricket, rugby, and football contexts: Saturday's club match drew a modest crowd.

It can also describe matches held at a particular club's grounds or organized under club auspices.
