Teams of amateur skaters from six continents compete for their respective nations.
The 2014 Roller Derby World Cup is the second held, taking place from December 4 through 7, 2014, at Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas, Texas, United States.
Thirty countries took part, including all thirteen teams from the inaugural event.
As before, the 2014 event was played and officiated under a ruleset developed and standardized by the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA), although not a WFTDA-sponsored event.
After the Round of sixteen, the remaining teams were reseeded for the quarterfinals.
