History
The two sides first met after Mercury City's relegation to the Second League, with Cook Island losing out 2–1 to their rivals. Mercury City won by the same scoreline in the reverse fixture. Cook Island were knocked out in the second round of the Mercury FA Cup, suffering a 2–0 defeat in a rearranged fixture.
