The finger ring bottle opener includes a continuous ring band with a finger passage and a finger passage axis. A bar integral with a band palm portion extends from the band distal end and is generally parallel to the finger passage axis. A bottom surface of the bar is a cap top engaging surface. A short shank is integral with the band palm portion and extends radially outward from the band. A prong is integral with the shank and extends forward from the shank. A bottle cap skirt bottom engaging surface is on the prong. When the skirt bottom engaging surface is in engagement with a cap skirt bottom and the bar is engaging the cap top, the cap top surface is substantially parallel to the finger passage axis.
