the '''Glory Shed Supporters Club (GSSC). The Glory developed a rivalry against Wellington Phoenix after the side was established in 2007, titled 'The Distance Derby'. It is based upon the two teams being considered as having one of the longest away trips in the world for a domestic league (5,255 km/3,270 mi). The two teams have had three tense finals games in the A-League, most recently with Perth Glory winning a finals match in the 2019–20 season. The rivalry was formally resurrected in the 2015–16 A-League season by means of awarding a new trophy called the 'Long Distance Derby Cup''', based on the cumulative results from the 3 league games for the season. Perth Glory won this cup in its inaugural year. The club also has a rivalry with former A-League side Gold Coast United, named the 'Iron Ore Cup. This rivalry was established due to a media-generated conflict which occurred before the two teams' met for the first time. The rivalry was named in such a way due to the owner of Perth, Tony Sage, and the owner of Gold Coast, Clive Palmer, having key involvements in the mining industry. The two sides have not played each other since Gold Coast was omitted from the league at the end of the 2011–12 A-League season. Perth also developed a rivalry with former National Soccer League side Melbourne Knights. This rivalry started forming when the two sides competed against each other in a vital league match to qualify for finals during Glory's inaugural season, which featured crowd violence and Perth player Paul Strudwick being sent off. Glory eventually lost the game 1–3, ending their hopes of finals in their first season. In May 2001 in a finals match played in Melbourne between the two sides, Perth player Bobby Despotovski performed a Serbian salute, enraging Melbourne Knights supporters who are prominently Croatian Australian. This led to Knights fans assaulting Despotovski and Glory manager Bernd Stange prior to them boarding the Perth team bus. This prompted Glory fans to plan retaliatory attacks against Melbourne's team bus prior to the second leg of the match. The two sides have not played each other since the demise of the NSL in 2004.
