The Denver Roller Derby league is composed of three home teams: the Bad Apples, the Green Barrettes, and the Orange Crushers.

On January 21, 2010, the Denver Roller Dolls announced a partnership with Kroenke Sports Enterprises and AEG Live Rocky Mountains.

Consequently, in January 2015, the league changed its name to Denver Roller Derby (still abbreviated DRD), in order to reflect the whole member community—skaters, volunteers, officials, and fans regardless of age or gender.

In October 2009, the league co-hosted the WFTDA Western Regional Tournament "Derby on the Rocks" with the Rocky Mountain Rollergirls, also of Denver, Colorado.

[8] The Denver Roller Dolls Mile High Club placed third in the tournament,[9] earning the first trip to the WFTDA Championships in league history.

The predominant strategy used by the Mile High Club was to slow the speed of the pack dramatically to enable their jammers to rack up points quickly.

In 2018, Denver received a bye directly to WFTDA Championships, by placing within the top four teams overall, as the fourth seed, in the June 30 rankings.

[15] In addition to athletic pursuits, each member of the Denver Roller Derby must engage in community and volunteer activities to remain in good standing with the league.
