The Brisbane City Rollers (BCR) is a roller derby league based in Queensland, Australia. It consists of 3 women's intraleague teams, two women's travel teams and 1 men's travel team, which play against teams from other leagues. It is the oldest co-ed league in Australia.[1]
The league was founded by a group of skaters, including "Evil Doll", who was a founding member of the Sun State Roller Girls. Initially based in central Brisbane, it relocated to Ipswich to find good practice facilities, and built up a following in the west of the city.[2]
Two BCR skaters, Fang Fiend and Juke Nukem, were selected to skate for Team Australia at the 2010 Roller Derby World Cup.[3]
The league took third place in the Tropicarnage Cup.[1] At the 2012 Great Southern Slam, it reached the quarter-finals, where it lost 139 to 173 against Adelaide Roller Derby.[4]
