直排輪曲棍球起源於冰上曲棍球，是一種在室內與室外地面上所進行的一種球類運動，在2005世界運動會列入為正式的比賽項目，與滑輪競述及花式溜冰同在滑輪溜冰競賽項目之中，在1979年Scott Olson 與Brennun Olson兩兄弟，改造了冰刀鞋而成為全世界第一雙直排輪鞋，同時也開啓了直排輪曲棍球運動。直排輪曲棍球比賽的方式與冰上曲棍球一樣，但是規則卻是不盡相同，台灣目前所參與的賽事為世錦賽與亞錦賽，直到2009年由高雄市主辦世界運動會，台灣國家代表隊第一次以地主隊的名義參加國際性的比賽，雖然成績不盡理想，但熱情的國人還是給我們國家代表隊最大的支持與鼓勵，相對的世界運動會的參賽，也讓我國的教練群與選手們上了寶貴的一課，也希望籍此向國人推薦這項運動。本文主要介紹直排輪曲棍球運動起源與國際間的發展，台灣直排輪曲棍球運動的發展，與直排輪曲棍球運動規則的介紹。再就直排輪曲棍球發展的現況，來探討我國直排輪曲棍球運動發展的未來助力與阻力。
