	We have developed an rf cavity beam position monitor (RF-BPM) for the XFEL facility at SPring-8, “SACLA”. The demanded position resolution of the BPM is less than 1 μm, because an electron beam and X-rays must be overlapped with 4 μm precision in the undulator section. To achieve this requirement, we employed a C-band RF-BPM that has a resonant frequency of 4760 MHz. The RF-BPM has a TM110 dipole mode resonator for position detection and a TM010 monopole mode resonator for phase reference and charge normalization. Rf signals from the RF-BPM are detected by IQ (In-phase and Quadrature) demodulators and the detected signals are recorded by 238 MHz waveform digitizers. The position resolution was confirmed to be 0.2 μm by using a 250 MeV electron beam at the SCSS test accelerator. Then, 57 RF-BPMs were produced and installed into SACLA. The beam tuning of SACLA started in February 2011 and the RF-BPM system has been working well. We report the basic performance such as a resonant frequency, a Q factor, machining accuracy etc. for each cavity and the achieved position resolution of the RF-BPM system.
