Celebrating

100 years of UMBC

In 2025 we’re very excited to be celebrating 100 years of the University of Melbourne Baseball Club!

Since 1926, our club has been more than just a place to play baseball – it’s where thousands of players have competed, made lifelong friends, and been part of an incredible community built around the game we love.

To celebrate this huge milestone, we’ve got an awesome lineup of events planned for the 2025 season. It’s going to be a year to remember, and we can’t wait to have you with us for the celebrations!
