A method of manufacturing a rigid-flexible printed circuit board includes providing a base substrate in which coverlays are respectively formed on two sides of a flexible copper foil laminate on both sides of which inner circuit patterns and a first window are respectively formed; layering insulation layers and copper foil layers on portions of coverlays which are to be a rigid region of the base substrate; forming a via hole in the rigid region, and, simultaneously, forming a via hole to correspond to the first window in a flexible region; forming outer circuit patterns including areas adjacent to the first window; and applying solder resists in the rigid region to expose portions of external circuit patterns. The region adjacent to the via holes in the flexible region includes additional plating portions for covering the coverlays.
