Queen City Roller Derby or QCRD,[1] is the flat-track roller derby league based in Buffalo, New York. Founded as Queen City Roller Derby in 2006,[2] the league is scheduled to play its fourteenth season in 2020. QCRD is a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[3] Since 2016, Queen City plays home games at Buffalo RiverWorks on the city's waterfront, drawing upwards of 1,000 fans to events,[4] with the home-team season typically running from January through June. The facility at RiverWorks is a private development that includes a purpose-built flat track for roller derby, and is credited for helping the league sell over 10,000 tickets in the 2016 season.[5] During the 2019 season, Queen City changed its name to Queen City Roller Derby to represent the league's inclusiveness of all people.[6]
