The website of the famous Punahou school in Honolulu says that starting in 1872, "girls" athletics were popular. In 1875, two girls teams played each other.

"Punahou Nines beat Royal School Nines, two teams of female baseball players"

Is this the first all-female baseball game outside the U.S.? [Hawaii was an independent nation at this time]
