The present invention provides a rolling bearing, particularly a rolling bearing for a steering column which is easy to produce and install and can be operated to restrict generation of noises. The present invention relates to the rolling bearing for the steering column having an inner ring (12), an outer ring (14) and one or more rows of rolling elements (16) disposed between the rings. One or more rings among the rings include a housing (20) and one or more wires (22) disposed in the housing to form a rolling raceway of the ring, and the wire is wound around a circumferential winding axis (22a) and having a radial gap. The rolling raceway of the wire includes a circular main track and one or more end tracks (3) adjacent to the gap (28) and extending the main track in the circumferential direction. The end track is offset radially towards the winding axis (22a) of the wire with respect to the main track.
