Team Ireland Roller Derby represents Ireland in women's international roller derby, in events such as the Roller Derby World Cup. Affectionately known as the "Green Machine", the team was first formed to compete at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup, and finished the tournament in tenth place.
The Irish team warmed up for the 2011 World Cup with a number of bouts against English leagues, starting with the Sheffield Steel Rollergirls.[1]
At the World Cup, Ireland lost to Team Finland in round 1;[2] then easily beat Roller Derby Brasil in the consolation stage,[3] but lost to Roller Derby Germany to finish tenth.[4]
The team's head coach, Violent Bob, from Dublin Roller Girls,[5] stated afterwards that the team were "probably among the underdogs" at the World Cup, but were "pretty proud of how we got on". He highlighted in particular the team's group stage 64–119 loss to Team England as a competitive performance.[6]
