The rainbow arborescence conjecture posits that if the arcs of a directed graph with $n$ vertices are colored by $n-1$ colors such that each color class forms a spanning arborescence, then there is a spanning arborescence that contains exactly one arc of every color. We prove that the conjecture is true if the underlying undirected graph is a cycle.
