This paper is concerned with distributed consensus between two multi‐agent networks with the same topology structure. Considering one network as the leaders' network and the other one as the followers' network, a new event‐triggered pinning control scheme is proposed to realize distributed consensus between these two networks. By utilizing the graph theory and Lyapunov functional method, consensus criteria are derived in the form of linear matrix inequalities. Moreover, distributed consensus of multi‐agent networks with Lipschitz nonlinear dynamics is also discussed. Numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis.
