The US and Canada haven't fought since 1812. Which European border of a major super power has a longer history of being close allies?
The UK and Scotland shouldn't count because Scotland isn't a sovereign country, they are a state of the UK that has lied about retaining their sovereignty for 500 years (which is why they have to beg England for permission to even hold an independece referendum)
Spain and France shouldn't count because Spain worked with the Nazis in ww2 and wouldn't help France.
Quite a surprising one here: I think the Norwegian/russian border can actually match that. I believe Norway is the only country neighbouring russia that has never been invaded by them (sans WWII, where they invaded Nazi-occupied Norway and willingly left after the Axis was defeated).
I also think the Norwegian/Danish border has been conflict-free for some hundred years (to be fair, we were in a union for β450 years ending in 1814). We've had some skirmishes with the Swedes throughout the years, but I believe the last one was in 1814.
Norway and Denmark don't have a land border. Thus including alliances in general the Anglo-Portuguese one dates back to 1373, with only 60 years interruption when Portugal was in dynastic union with Spain which in modern terms could be called an occupation.
...and this isn't just a technicality with both nations being big on seafaring you can consider the water between them a highway, French cannons nonwithstanding.
