An ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer composition is provided, which is excellent in impact resistance even without a resin other than an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer blended therein. The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer resin composition contains: (A) an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer; (B) an aliphatic carboxylic acid metal salt; and (C) a sorbic acid ester; wherein the aliphatic carboxylic acid metal salt (B) contains a metal moiety selected from the group consisting of long Periodic Table 4th-period d-block metals; wherein the sorbic acid ester (C) is present in an amount of 0.00001 to 10 ppm based on the total amount of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (A), the aliphatic carboxylic acid metal salt (B), and the sorbic acid ester (C). |
