It came 12 years after the old Australian Baseball League ceased and is the successor of the mostly amateur Claxton Shield competition that has been played since 1934. The season consisted of six teams competing in a 40-game schedule, followed by a three-round finals series to determine the ABL champion. At the conclusion of the regular season, the Sydney Blue Sox, Perth Heat, Adelaide Bite and Melbourne Aces progressed to the finals series, while the Brisbane Bandits and Canberra Cavalry were only eliminated from contention on the final day of the season. Both Melbourne and Sydney were eliminated by Adelaide in the minor semi-final series and the preliminary final series, respectively. Perth became the inaugural ABL champions when they defeated Adelaide two games to one in the championship series. Formation Australian Baseball League Australian Baseball League In June 2009, it was announced that the rights to the Claxton Shield had been sold to a new Australian Baseball League, with ownership split between Major League Baseball's 75 percent share and the 25 percent share owned by the Australian Baseball Federation. The 2010 Claxton Shield tournament was considered preparation for the inaugural ABL season.

With the expansion from five to six teams, the need for teams to have a bye was eliminated, with all teams participating in games each round. The individual rounds were expanded from three to four games per round, resulting in an increase from 24 to 40 games per team for the season. The postseason was also expanded to include the top four teams, rather than only the top three.

Six teams were involved, playing a four-game series every week totaling two series against each team, one at home and one away. In total, the schedule allowed for 40 regular season games per team before a four-team finals series. During the regular season, games were played Thursday to Sunday, varying depending on the series and team, with 18 games scheduled as doubleheaders on a Saturday. Doubleheaders were scheduled to have the first of the two games shortened to seven innings, with the second game using the full nine innings. One of the regular season games resulted in a tie, which is unusual in baseball given the provision in the rules of the game to play extra innings to determine a winner. The game between the Sydney Blue Sox and the Melbourne Aces at Blacktown Olympic Park was the second game of a makeup doubleheader as a result of rain earlier that weekend washing out two games, and so had been shortened to seven innings. A rain delay during the first game of the day forced the second game to a later start. Under a provision in the ABL rules that is modeled on the International Baseball Federation's tiebreaker rule, in any extra inning that starts within an hour of the curfew time for the game—a time set to allow the visiting team time to meet travel schedules to return home at the end of a series—each team starts with runners at first and second base with nobody out. In addition, no new inning may start within 15 minutes of the curfew time. The game was scoreless at the end of the regulation seven innings, and was tied at 1–1 at the end of the eighth inning, which ended at the curfew time. Though the game was an official game, the result did not count towards the season standings.Maun Tyler One up, one even for Sunday Sox http://web.theabl.com.au/news/article.jsp?ymd=20101205&content_id=16257400&vkey=news_t4069&fext=.jsp&sid=t4069 Sydney Blue Sox Australian Baseball League 23 January 2011 5 December 2010 Sydney surges back to take opener, clubs play to draw in second contest 17 December 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20101217091905/http://web.theabl.com.au/news/article.jsp?ymd=20101205&content_id=16257400&vkey=news_t4069&fext=.jsp&sid=t4069 live Collins Kingsley Bizarre End to Rain-Affected Series http://web.theabl.com.au/news/article.jsp?ymd=20101206&content_id=16258218&vkey=news_t4067&fext=.jsp&sid=t4067 Melbourne Aces Australian Baseball League 23 January 2011 6 December 2010 13 December 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20101213112127/http://web.theabl.com.au/news/article.jsp?ymd=20101206&content_id=16258218&vkey=news_t4067&fext=.jsp&sid=t4067 live All but 4 of the scheduled 120 games were played.

Like Sydney, Melbourne secured fourth position through a result that did not involve them: Brisbane's loss in their final game against Adelaide eliminated them from contention for the finals, and since the Canberra Cavalry had already been eliminated by Melbourne's win in its second-last game, Melbourne qualified. Major semi-final series The Sydney Blue Sox hosted the Perth Heat in the major semi-final series at Blacktown Olympic Park. The Blue Sox and Heat split their season series 4–4. This included back-to-back sweeps for each team, with Perth winning the second of the two series, played in Sydney.ABL'S Top Four Teams Locked in For Post Season http://boxscorenews.com/abls-top-four-teams-locked-in-for-post-season-p12856-68.htm Boxscore News 28 January 2011 22 January 2011 https://web.archive.org/web/20110708090057/http://boxscorenews.com/abls-top-four-teams-locked-in-for-post-season-p12856-68.htm 8 July 2011 dead dmy-all Game 1 27 January 2011 19:30 (UTC+11:00) Blacktown Olympic Park, Sydney PER PER 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 2 4 7 0 SYD SYD 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 2 4 1 Benn Grice (1–0) Chris Oxspring (0–1) Brendan Wise (1) Brendan Kingman (1) Matt Kennelly (1) 1,002 http://web.theabl.com.au/stats/stats.jsp?sid=l595&t=g_box&gid=2011_01_27_prtwin_sydwin_1 Game 2 28 January 2011 19:30 (UTC+11:00) Blacktown Olympic Park, Sydney SYD SYD 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 1 PER PER 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 3 X 6 6 0 Trevor Caughey (1–0) Wayne Lundgren (0–1) 1,350 http://web.theabl.com.au/stats/stats.jsp?sid=l595&t=g_box&gid=2011_01_28_sydwin_prtwin_1 Minor semi-final series The Adelaide Bite hosted the Melbourne Aces in the minor semi-final series at Coopers Stadium.
