ABSA Announces Its First-Ever Adult Slowpitch Softball Competition in Ireland for 2027

For the first time ever, American Based Sports Abroad (ABSA) is launching an international opportunity exclusively for adult slowpitch softball players and we're heading to one of the most beautiful destinations in the world: Ireland.

Whether you're a former collegiate athlete, a weekend warrior, or simply someone who still loves competing on the diamond, this is your chance to combine your passion for softball with an unforgettable international adventure.

From August 4 - 9, 2027, Team ABSA will travel to Ireland to compete in an international slowpitch softball tournament while experiencing the country's breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and incredible culture. Players will have the opportunity to compete against teams from around the world while exploring iconic destinations throughout Ireland.

At ABSA, we've always believed sports have the power to create experiences that last a lifetime.

Our international tours are about much more than wins and losses, they're about building friendships, representing your community, experiencing new cultures, and creating memories you'll never forget.

Ireland offers the perfect backdrop for that experience. From the lively streets of Dublin and the famous Temple Bar district to the rolling green countryside and historic landmarks, every day brings a new adventure both on and off the field.

Why Adult Slowpitch?

Many athletes finish their competitive careers wishing they had one more opportunity to wear a uniform, compete alongside great teammates, and experience the excitement of tournament play. But this opportunity isn't just for former players.

Many adults and parents who have fallen in love with the game through coaching, cheering from the stands, or supporting their children as dedicated softball moms and dads have always wondered what it would be like to step onto the field themselves. Whether you're an experienced player or simply someone who's passionate about the sport and ready to embrace a new challenge, this tour offers a unique chance to compete, travel, and become part of the Team ABSA family.

This tour was created for exactly that reason.

NOW RECRUITING: Only 4 Spots Remain

The response to this inaugural tour has been incredible and only four roster spots remain. If you've been thinking about traveling internationally through softball, now is the time to secure your place before the roster is full.
