The Greater Brisbane League (GBL) is the largest baseball league in Queensland, covering teams from Brisbane North, Metro, South, West and the Gold Coast from Little League (U13) through to seniors. The competition is managed by the GBL Competition Committee, a volunteer sub-committee of the Baseball Queensland Board elected by the GBL clubs. The day-to-day administration of the competition is conducted by a Competition Administrator.

The 2018/19 season saw the largest number of players participating in GBL baseball on record, with over 2,000 junior and senior players. All GBL Competitions are gender inclusive. Last season also saw the first all female Competition with 4 Teams. On that success the GBL Committee is already planning on 10+ Female Teams in Season 2019/20

The GBL season coincides with Queensland school terms 4 and 1, commencing in spring (October) and finishing before Easter, with a short break over the Christmas period. The season typically runs for around 20 rounds, with the Division 1 competition taking part in a two game series each week. Currently, the GBL Competition runs six divisions for Adult male or female Seniors (15+), two divisions for Little League (U13), Junior League (U15) and Senior League (U17) and a standalone division for Women’s (15+), U20s and Masters (35+). Regions within the GBL run competitions for players under the Little League age bracket (ie, rookie ball and T-ball).

The rules of the competition are written in the GBL Bylaws which are set prior to the start of each season. These rules operate in conjunction with the Official Rules of Baseball and, for juniors, the Little League International Rules (“Green Book Rules”).
