In this work, singular orientable foliations which admit non-trivial recurrent leaves on 2-manifolds of finite or infinite genus are considered. A structure theorem for such foliations is given. The theorem is similar to Gutierrez's structure theorem (C. Gutierrez. Smoothing continuous flows on 2-manifolds and recurrences. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.6 (1986), 17–44) for flows on compact surfaces.
