A lot of sports originated in Europe and were the sources of development of sports in other parts of the modern world. Many of the ball sports around the world originate from sports in Europe. American Football is similar to Rugby. Baseball is similar to cricket and rounders. Australian rules football is similar to Gaelic Football and Rugby. Games like hockey, have similar games in Europe, like Shinty and Hurling. Golf and Tennis began in Europe, as did soccer. Some forms of horse racing began in Europe, like Steeplechasing. All of these and other sports came from sports in Europe, and some of those can trace their heritage back further to very ancient sports in Africa and Asia.
