The Ancient Order of Hibernians has announced a new partnership with the Irish American Baseball Society. The partnership is aimed at promoting community engagement, cultural education, and a deeper appreciation for the historical connections between the Irish American community and the game of baseball.

As part of the partnership, the Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) logo will appear on the jerseys of the players on the Irish Wolfhounds Baseball Club. The logo will also be available as an optional add-on to Irish Baseball caps and jerseys in the Irish American Baseball Society (IABS) online store.

“The Irish have played a major role in baseball since the game’s earliest days and the game has been a major part of the Irish American experience,” explained Ancient Order of Hibernians President Sean Pender. “The AOH is proud to play a role in this remarkable cultural journey, deeply rooted in the Irish American experience.”

“We’re honored to partner with the largest Irish cultural organization in the world,” said IABS Founder John Fitzgerald. “We look forward to working with the AOH and its members to recognize and celebrate the Irish impact on the game of baseball.”

The organizations will introduce co-branding on the Irish Heritage Awards, which are awarded to outstanding high school baseball players. The awards, which recognize achievements on the field, in the classroom, and in the community, will now bear the phrase “Presented by the Ancient Order of Hibernians.”

The partnership will also include cross-promotion of each organization’s events and initiatives. Additionally, members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians will be able to access complimentary membership in the Irish American Baseball Society.
