Abstract The existence of a steady vortex ring close to Hill's spherical vortex is established, and an approximate description of its boundary is given. The vorticity in the ring is proportional to the distance from the axis of symmetry. The core propagates steadily in an unbounded fluid at rest at infinity. The boundary of the vortex ring is close to an interior stream surface of Hill's vortex.
