The Oklahoma Victory Dolls (OVD) is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Founded in 2007, the league currently consists of two inter-league teams which compete against teams from other leagues. They formerly had four home teams that competed against each other.
As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the Victory Dolls donate a portion of their profits to local charities and have also organized fundraisers for injured skaters. They have participated in local events, such as Mardi Gras.
In January 2017, the league announced it was merging with Oklahoma City Roller Derby and the new organization would continue under the Oklahoma Victory Dolls name.
The Oklahoma Victory Dolls were the youngest league to be accepted as full members of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) at the time of their induction in September 2008. They were a part of the South Central Region of the WFTDA from 2008 to 2012. When the WFTDA changed to a Divisions-based ranking system in 2013, the Oklahoma Victory Dolls debuted in Division 2, ranked at 55. Later that year, Oklahoma first qualified for WFTDA Playoffs, entering the Division 1 tournament in Asheville, North Carolina as the ninth seed, and taking seventh place with a 200-131 victory over the Nashville Rollergirls. As the eighth seed in Salt Lake City in 2014, Oklahoma finished in tenth place with an overtime loss to Tri-City Roller Derby, 190-185. In 2015, Oklahoma City dropped into Division 2 Playoffs in Cleveland as the ninth seed and came out in eighth place after a 179-137 loss to Jet City Rollergirls of Everett, Washington.
