British baseball, also known colloquially in Wales as Welsh baseball, is a bat-and-ball game played in Wales, England, and to a lesser extent in Ireland and Scotland.

Teams in all locations played under the codified rules created by the National Rounders Association (later renamed as the, with the game in Wales locally organised first by the South Wales Baseball Association,, who in turn were replaced by the Welsh Baseball Union.
