GAA Rounders

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.

About GAA Rounders

Rounders was included in the original Gaelic Athletic Association Charter in 1884 as one one of the four Gaelic Games – the others being Gaelic Football, Hurling, and Handball. It wasn’t until the 1950s, however, that any effort was made to organise the game, when the Erin’s Own Club in Antrim started a Rounders section and made efforts to promote the game throughout Ireland.The Senior Men’s All-Ireland Championship has been run since 1976, and is currently run on a Round-Robin League basis, with the top four reaching the Semi-Finals.

The Senior Mixed All-Ireland Championship has been run since 1990, and currently is run on a Round-Robin League basis, with the top four reaching the Semi-Finals.

Report

Antrim’s Erin’s Own, having done so much to promote GAA Rounders, won the Senior Men’s All-Ireland Championship in 1977, 1979 and 1980. Tyrone’s Plunkett’s took the 1982 to 1984 Championships, and from 1986 to 1989 Lakelands from Dublin took the honours. Mayo’s Breaffy had more luck than their Gaelic Football counterparts winning the Championship from 1992 to 1995, and from 1998 to 2007 Cavan’s Erne Eagles won a record 10 times in a row. Limekiln took the honours for Dublin in 2011, 2013 and 2014, and The Heath from Laois were Champions in 2012 and then three times in a row from 2015 to 2017. Erne Eagles regained former glory with wins in the 2018 and 2019 Championshps.

About GAA Rounders

Rounders was included in the original Gaelic Athletic Association Charter in 1884 as one one of the four Gaelic Games – the others being Gaelic Football, Hurling, and Handball. It wasn’t until the 1950s, however, that any effort was made to organise the game, when the Erin’s Own Club in Antrim started a Rounders section and made efforts to promote the game throughout Ireland.The Senior Men’s All-Ireland Championship has been run since 1976, and is currently run on a Round-Robin League basis, with the top four reaching the Semi-Finals.
