Team Scotland Roller Derby
Team Scotland Roller Derby represents Scotland in women's international roller derby, in events such as the Roller Derby World Cup. The team was first formed to compete at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup, and finished the tournament in eleventh place. Team Scotland played two warm-up matches for the World Cup, beating both a "rest of Scotland" team, and the "Northern All-Stars", consisting of skaters from the north of England. At the World Cup, Scotland lost narrowly to New Zealand, 124 to 111, and overwhelmingly to Team USA, 435 to 1. Although this  led to the becoming the lowest-ranked team in the consolation stage, they beat Team Argentina and later beat Team Brazil, to finish eleventh out of thirteen teams.

The 2014 team was selected from a "Training Team" of 30 skaters, themselves selected via two rounds of tryouts performed under the auspices of the UK Roller Derby Association (UKRDA). The final 20 skaters selected for the 2014 World Cup roster were announced on 1 May 2014. Since that  announcement, Team Scotland have appeared in two public bouts, where many of the skaters skated under their legal names, rather than derby names (Team Scotland skaters choose themselves whether to use their legal or skate names for this squad): the below table lists skaters by the names they skate under with their home leagues.
