Happy New Year, Dublin skaters! We’re kicking off January 2026 with some absolutely massive news that has our whole community buzzing. The incredible skaters of Team Ireland are heading to the Roller Derby World Cup, and the squad is packed with talent from our very own Dublin Roller Derby! According to a fantastic feature in The Irish Times, 13 local heroes are on their way to Innsbruck, Austria, to represent us on the world stage. It’s a powerful reminder of the passion and dedication brewing right here in our city.
This level of talent doesn’t just appear overnight; it’s built through consistent training and a supportive community. Leagues like Dublin Roller Derby are the backbone of this scene, and their recent events have kept the energy high. For those of us inspired to lace up, whether for the first time or the thousandth, there are amazing local venues like The Rink Roller Disco in D12, offering a perfect place to practice our moves and connect with fellow skaters. Let’s make this month about celebrating our champions and building our own skills!
