The Royal City Roller Girls (RCRG) is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Guelph, Ontario. Founded in 2010, the league consists of three teams, plus a mixed travel team which competes against teams from other leagues.
Royal City was founded in April 2010, and initially trained at West End Rec Centre. By August, it had already grown to forty skaters, but was hit when its practice venue closed.[1] Despite this, the league played its first season in 2011, contesting five bouts,[2] and hosted the Roller Derby Association of Canada Eastern tournament in 2012.[3]
The league's logo and those of its various teams were designed by the cartoonist Seth.[4]
In October 2013, Royal City was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Programme.[5]
