A rubber crawler having a very good straight driving property is obtained by modifying a method of embedding bias cords in a rubber crawler and neutralizing shear stresses caused by tensile load of bent portions of the crawler when the crawler is entrained about a vehicle main body. The rubber crawler is comprised of an endless rubber elastic body, a main cord row, two layers of bias cords having opposite angles of inclination, guide projections, and a lug. The bias cords of the first layer at a side near the main cord row are embedded over a region having substantially the same transverse dimension as that of the main cord row, at a fixed angle of inclination, and the bias cords of the second layer are divided into two sections, covering a region having substantially the same transverse dimension as that of the bias cords of the first layer other than a portions corresponding to the guide projections.
