The Gulf Coast League Orioles are a minor league baseball team that plays in the Gulf Coast League. The Orioles were originally a team from 1991–2003, but were reactivated in 2007. The Orioles play their home games in Sarasota, Florida at Ed Smith Stadium, which became the spring training home to the Orioles at the start of the 2010 season.

The Orioles came back as a team in 2007 for the first time since the GCL Orioles folded in 2003, as the Baltimore Orioles now had seven minor league affiliates. under new manager Orlando Gomez. After a rocky 1-4 start, the Orioles progressively got better and won eight games in a row, but placed 2nd in the East and missing the playoffs. They finished the season 32-24.
