The Arucian Baseball League (Gaullican: Ligue de Baseball Arucien), known as the LBA or ABL, is a professional baseball organisation based in Sainte-Chloé, and one of the oldest and longest lasting professional sporting associations in the world.

With baseball introduced to Colony of Sainte-Chloé from Rizealand throughout the mid 19th century, a professional league modeled off several Rizealand models would be formed in 1876, with four teams. Largely in the shadow of Rizealand's League, it would operate in the winter months, and saw a great deal of cooperation with Rizealand and sharing of players and talent. Until the Great War, the League would remain within Sainte-Chloé, and during the later stages of the war it would temporarily cease operation. After the war, the League would expand and became multi-national sport, especially after the foundation of the United Provinces.

The Arucian League is currently comprised of 20 teams, divided into four divisions. Each team plays a total of 75 games from early November to late January, followed by a brief post-season in Feburary. The teams with the highest record in each division move on to a divisional playoff series; winners of the divisional series move on to the Arucian Series, the chief title in the League, the winner of which is considered as the champion.
