History
Northland Roller Derby was founded as the Northland Nightmares Roller Girlz in 2010.The league's first team, Hell's Wives, were also established in 2010. Hell's Wives competed in Auckland competition until the league grew popular enough to hold its own internal competitions.
In 2011, intraleague teams Death Row Dolls and Diva Destruction were formed. Hell's Wives continues as the league's traveling representative team. The junior Derby Bratz team was also formed in 2011.
Venues
The league originally trained at church-owned Kamo Recreation Centre. The church moved the league on from there at the beginning of 2011, citing increasing student numbers at the church school, which used the hall as a gym, and falling outside use. The league then struggled to find a suitable place to train.The league's 2011 season was eventually spent training at Portland Hall and bouting at Kensington Stadium.
