Supporting the Game in Ireland and the USA

The Irish American Baseball Society is a non-profit subsidiary of the Baseball United Foundation (Federal Tax ID: 20-4623222). Together, we’ve been working  to support and strengthen the game of baseball in Ireland for over 15 years. Our support includes funding youth baseball programs in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Visit the Baseball United Foundation website for more information about youth baseball programs in Ireland.

Researching the Irish Impact on the Game

Irish Americans have had a profound impact on the history of professional baseball in the United States. We study the impact of Irish immigrants and Irish Americans on the early days of baseball and we recognize the Irish American influence on today’s game.

We also study the history of baseball in Ireland, from the first known Irish baseball game in 1874 to the present day.
