The national Irish roller derby team was first established in 2010 and represented the country in the first roller derby World Cup in Toronto, Canada in 2011 where the team finished in 10th place (out of 13).

In 2014, a new squad was selected for the 2014 World Cup in Texas, USA. In Texas, the team, again, finished in 10th place, only this time out of 30.

In October 2016, the new training squad of 31 players was selected, competing at the largest World Cup to date at the  2017 World Cup in Manchester, UK.

In 2024 the squad was re-established to compete at the 2025 Roller Derby World Cup in Innsbruck, Switzerland. Twenty five skaters have been selected along with coaches Alan Timmins, Kevin Tierney, Catherine Hemelryk and Oonagh O’Flaherty.

Team Ireland Roller Derby is a self-governed, non-profit, amateur sports organisation dedicated to playing and promoting women’s flat track roller derby. If you would like to sponsor the team, please get in touch media@teamirelandrollerderby.com
