Approximately once every four years the Irish National Baseball Team undertakes a tour of North America.

In 2001 the team visited New England, playing a match in Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, going 4-4 including an Ireland Youth Team match, the adukts finishing with a 3-4 Record.[9]

The next trip was to Southern California in 2005, where the team won three of their nine matches, defeating MVP 10-5, MBSL 8-7 and Club California 9-3 [10] .

For the trips in 2010 and 2012 it was back to the North East where they finished with an even 2-2 record in their trip to Rhode Island in 2010, defeating the Good Knights of East Providence 6-5 and Providence Sports Leadership 12-2[1][11].

They had one win out of five in the New York trip two years later, defeating Rockland Astros 15-8 [4].

In 2017 the team embarked on a tour of Ontario in Canada, winning three games out of five, their first winning record for a trip.[5][6][7][8]
