The ring top container opener comprises a body having a first end, an intermediate portion and a second end. The body comprises a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface and the bottom surface taper to define an insertion member proximate the second end of the body. The body further comprises a first side surface and a second side surface. The first side surface and the second side surface taper to define the insertion member proximate the second end of the body. A lower lip member is secured proximate the first end and is dimensioned for insertion under a ring member. A first fulcrum surface defined by a first portion of the bottom surface of the body is located between the intermediate portion and the insertion member.
