It's a hard question to answer. The main sports in America, with their specific rules & techniques are native to the USA.
However, it would be safe to say that the English game "rounders" is definitely where Baseball came from. The origin of Rounders can be traced back quite a way also but the further back you go the more the game changes and one has to question when to draw the line. The same way you could say all non-native Americans are decendants of long forgotten prehistoric tribes, but really it's easier to say they came from England, France and Spain (etc)
The main sports in the USA & their country of origins to my knowledge are:
- American Football - Quite definitely USA
- Baseball - England
- Basketball - USA
- Ice Hockey - Ireland (original sport known as hurling (later reffered to as ice hockey and hockey)
- Soccer - Soccer is an English term, based on Association Football, so technically Soccer is from England. Football in general has no specific origin.
