Abstract
We consider Riemannian orbifolds with Ricci curvature nonnegative outs ide a compact set and prove that the number of ends is finite. We also show that if that compact set is small then the Riemannian orbifolds have only two ends. A version of splitting theorem for orbifolds also follows as an easy consequence.
