Rounders.world – Eirball’s GAA and World Rounders & Old World Baseball Archive

Rounders is an Irish and British version of Softball and Baseball, and thought to be the ancestor of both. It was first codified in Ireland as part of the Original GAA Charter of 1884, but not organised until 1958. It is a Bat and Ball (also known as Safe Haven) sport whereby the batter attempts to hit a ball thrown at him or her by a pitcher or bowler and then attempts to run around the bases back home.

The sport is also played in Britain, Australia and the Indian sub-continent. Closely-related versions of the sport are played in Wales and Merseyside (Welsh Baseball, also known as British Baseball), throughout Europe under various different names from Sweden (Brännboll) to Romania. A Major variation of Rounders (or for that matter Baseball and Softball, for the sports are all closely related), is played in Finland where Pesäpallo as it is called is the National Sport.
