The Dublin Roller Girls (DRG) is a roller derby league based in Dublin. Founded in 2009, the league currently consists of two teams, and a mixed team which competes against teams from other leagues.

History

The Dublin Roller Girls were the first roller derby league to form in Ireland.[1] Their intraleague bout in June 2011 was the first public roller derby in the country.[2]

Nine skaters from the league were selected for Team Ireland at the Roller Derby World Cup in 2011,[3] while Dublin also supplies the head coach for the team.[4]
