Fox Cities Roller Derby, formerly known as The Fox City Foxz, is a roller derby league based in Appleton, Wisconsin. Founded in 2007, the league consists of four teams, and a mixed travel team which competes against teams from other leagues.

The league played its first season in 2008.[1] Although all the league's home bouts are currently played in Appleton, it has also hosted bouts in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.[2]

The league was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in October 2009,[3] and became a full member of the WFTDA in September 2010.[4]

The production team of "Jam City Rollergirls", a roller derby-themed console game, attempted to learn to skate with Fox Cityz.[5]

League founder and president Delonna "Wring Leader" Reed of the Fox Cityz Foxz has stepped down and the league will be continuing on now known as Fox Cities Roller Derby (FCRD). In September 2015, Fox Cities announced on social media that they will be merging with Appleton's other WFTDA-member league, the Paper Valley Roller Girls, and the new organization will continue to operate under the Fox Cities name.
