Founded in 1984, XRCO was formed to give writers and editors from the adult entertainment industry a voice in selecting the best and brightest in adult cinema. Original members included a small group of writers from Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia. Over the years, select and qualified membership has expanded to include some of the best adult reviewers from both print and digital media. In 2005, XRCO welcomed its first European members. The group celebrated its silver anniversary in 2009.
