A Celebration of Softball
- the great games of the Slowpitch and Fastpich.

Following the successful inaugural World Vintage Softball Carnival in Rotorua, New Zealand in March 2007, a group of team managers and players have requested that a second World Vintage Softball Carnival be staged in Hawaii in 2009. The result is that the second World Vintage Softball Carnival will be staged in Hawaii between April 19 and 26, 2009.

We are working with Hawaii Amateur Softball Association who are assisting with fields and provision of umpires and scorers. They are preparing to welcome teams from all over the world. Full details of the World Vintage Softball Carnival are displayed on the website.

Teams are encouraged to enter the Carnival and to experience the unique enjoyment of a week long celebration of the great game of Softball. Mixing with teams from all over the world; competing vigorously on the diamond and socialising freely with like-minded players and officials was a great formula that worked well in Rotorua and that will be the basis for a week of fun, friendship and competition in April 2009.

Entries are going to be limited-we can only take a certain number of teams spread over Men's Fastpitch; Women's Fastpitch; Men's Slowpitch; Women's Slowpitch and Co-ed Slowpitch and already we have indications of entries from teams from Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Canada and USA.

We are looking forward to renewing old friendships and making new friends on and off the Diamonds in Hawaii in April 2009.
