The Royal City Roller Girls (RCRG) is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Guelph, Ontario. Founded in 2010, the league consists of three teams, plus a mixed travel team which competes against teams from other leagues.

Royal City was founded in April 2010, and initially trained at West End Rec Centre. By August, it had already grown to forty skaters, but was hit when its practice venue closed. Despite this, the league played its first season in 2011, contesting five bouts, and hosted the Roller Derby Association of Canada Eastern tournament in 2012.

In November 2016, it was announced that Royal City is launching a junior roller derby program in early 2017, geared towards girls between the ages of 9 and 17.

The league's logo and those of its various teams were designed by the cartoonist Seth.

WFTDA competition

In October 2013, Royal City was accepted as a member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Programme, and became a full member in December 2014.
