===GAA-specific rules===
{{Main|GAA Rounders}}
In Ireland, the rules of rounders ({{langx|ga|cluiche corr}}) are laid down by the Gaelic Athletic Association.<ref name=" GAA rules"/> The GAA rules are the earliest nationally organised rules of play, being formalised in 1884. It is played on a larger pitch compared to the Rounders England game and consequently uses larger bats and slightly larger balls. A GAA rounders pitch is a {{convert|70|m|yd|adj=on}} square field and bases are {{convert|25|m|yd}} apart, compared to {{convert|12|m|yd}} for the Rounders England game. Foul ground runs along two adjacent sides of the pitch with a home base at the intersection of these sides.

Five substitutes may be made to the list of nine players at any time during play. A maximum of nine players are allowed to field at one time. Once one team has fielded, then they take their turn at batting following a pre given batting order.

The ball (or {{lang|ga|[[sliotar]]}}) circumference is {{convert|22.7|-|25.5|cm|in}} and bats may be {{convert|70|-|110|cm|in}} long and up to {{convert|7|cm|in}} in diameter. There is no limit on bat weight. Bases and pitchers stand are normally marked with temporary square mats 64&nbsp;cm (28") square.

Each batter is entitled to three good balls. A good ball is one that travels the whole way across home base and between the batters knee and shoulder.  A batter can try to hit any good balls that are pitched but need not run once hitting the ball or the first two good balls.

A batter can run on any hit ball that lands in good ground or which is made good by touching a fielder then landing in foul ground. On a third good ball a batter has to run (move from batters box) whether they hit it or not.

Batters may run, but if the sliotar lands in foul ground then the referee calls them back as no play can happen on a foul ball.

A batter is out if:
* on a third good ball, the batter fails to strike the ball and the catcher holds the ball before it touches the ground;
* the bat is thrown or tossed in a dangerous way;
* on a third good ball, the batter strikes the ball into the foul area;
* the bowler or catcher's view is obstructed for a second time, after a warning given on the first instance;
* Tagging a runner – i.e. deliberate contact is made with a fielder carrying the ball;
* the batter touches a base that has been 'tagged' by another fielder carrying the ball, in which case the batter must return to the previous base if it is still unoccupied;
* the batter attempts to occupy a base occupied by someone else.

Batters must run in straight lines between bases and fielders must not obstruct their way or stand on bases. Disobeying this rule is considered unsporting behaviour and may result in up to two bases being awarded to the batting team or a batter being sent out. Normally, one batter may not overtake another while running between bases, although there are exceptions to this rule.

Five innings constitute a game, depending on the level of the match. Each batting team's inning continues until three outs are made.
