AUSTRALIA

Australian women’s baseball began seriously when the Victorian Baseball Association decided to determine if there was interest from women to play baseball. A tryout to gauge this interest in 1994 resulted in the formation of almost 30 teams. These teams were organized as sister clubs with then established men’s adult baseball clubs. Approximately 60 women’s teams now play in Australia.

In 2000 the Australian Baseball Federation sanctioned a National Women's Baseball Championship which is an annual event now.

In 2001 the Australian Baseball Federation sanctioned the development of a national women's baseball team to represent them in international play. The Australian team was selected from the States of Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia. The Australian Baseball Federation now has a permanent selection process in place for a national women’s baseball team.

The Australian national team competed in all Women’s World Series events. In 2002 the Aussie Stars won the Gold Medal beating Team Japan in the 2002 Women’s World Series in St. Petersburg, Florida. As Women's World Series hosts in 2003 the Australians won the Silver Medal. In 2004 in Japan the Australian team took the Bronze Medal placed fourth in the 2004 Women's World Cup.
