The National Association (formally, the National Base Ball Association) was a professional baseball league that played during the 1879 and 1880 seasons. While not considered a major league, it operated before the formal establishment of minor league baseball. It should not be confused with the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players, the first fully-professional sports league in baseball, which operated several years prior.
