The British Baseball Federation (BBF) is the National Governing Body (NGB) of Baseball in Great Britain.

[Great Britain Baseball @GB_Baseball]

It’s community clinic time with 10 different @BritishBaseball clubs represented!!

[British Baseball Federation @BritishBaseball]

A move to a new single national governing body is the biggest decision our sports have faced in 20 years, and it needs to be shaped by the people who play, coach, umpire and volunteer. More than 300 members of the two communities have already told us what they think through a survey, and the answers have shaped this update.

We are sharing this update to answer some of the questions raised so far. We will keep you informed as the work continues, including through a presentation at the BBF Congress in November and a BSF Online Forum at the end of November.

World Baseball Classic Memorabilia

Over the next 12 months a range of memorabilia from the World Baseball Classic will go to auction with all funds going to the @GB_Baseball Programme.

The items will include signed and non-signed jerseys and well as a range of signed bats from the 2026 WBC.

In addition, a range of vintage GB gear will also be up for auction.

With the WBSC Women’s World Cup Qualifier due in August, the first batch has been made available for the GB Women’s national Team and can be found at https://t.co/JyRw9kCVcJ

Following this auction, new auctions will be held to benefit the U18s, U15s and U12s in time to support the teams in 2027 as they prepare for international competition.

“Players in the GB Programme make a massive financial and time commitment and it is only right that we should find ways of supporting them,” said Glen Robertson, the BBF National Teams Programme Officer. “I want to thank the generosity of the players and staff who were part of the 2026 WBC team who have contributed signed items to this initiative.”

More than 50 Venezuelan players are proud members of the British baseball family, and our thoughts are with them and everyone affected during this incredibly difficult time.

UNICEF has launched an appeal to support those impacted by the earthquakes. If you are able to help, please consider making a donation:

Farnham Park was the destination for GB Baseball’s first-ever WBSC sanctioned event, meaning the results of the weekend would have a direct impact on the world rankings.

Alongside a development side, the British roster hosted a familiar foe in the Czech Republic National Team as well as Baseball For All – a team from the United States of America, led by pioneer Justine Siegal.
