Roller Derby | Pirate City Rollers

2019 NZ Top 10 Champs

ABOUT

In 2006, an American skater by the name of Black Dahlia brought her skates with her during her trip in New Zealand. She established the Pirate City Rollers in Auckland, the first roller derby league outside of the Northern Hemisphere.

The Pirate City Rollers became an apprentice member of the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association in 2011 – the first New Zealand league to do so. They were the first NZ league to graduate to full membership in September 2013.

In 2017 PCR made history, yet again, and became the first NZ team to qualify for the Div 2 playoffs in the USA.
