The Cork City Firebirds (CCF) are a roller derby league based in Cork in Ireland. Founded in 2011, the league consists of a single team, which competes against teams from other leagues.
Founded in June 2011,[1] the Firebirds were, with the Dublin Roller Girls, one of the first two bouting leagues in Ireland.[2] Despite the league's recent formation, three of its skaters were selected to play for All-Ireland Roller Derby at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup: Crow Jane, Phantom Jemerald and Rush'n Barron.[1][3]
The league has played against teams from the Amsterdam Derby Dames, Crime City Rollers and Copenhagen Roller Derby.[4]
