The authors introduce the notion of loop groupoid \(LG\) associated to a groupoid \(G\). In the case \(G\) is an orbifold, the coarse moduli space of \(LG\) is precisely the loop space of the orbifold. After studying the general properties of \(LG\), the authors show that this notion provides a very natural geometric interpretation for the twisted sectors of an orbifold and for the inner local systems introduced by \textit{Y. Ruan} in [Stringy geometry and topology of orbifolds, Symposium in honor of C. H. Clemens, (Contemp. Math. 312, 187--233 (2002; Zbl 1060.14080)].
