Faoi láthair tá timpeall 480 Ball ag Acadamh Ríoga na hÉireann, a dhéantar a thoghadh mar aitheantas ar a bhfuil bainte amach acu sa saol acadúil. Is é an gradam acadúil is airde in Éirinn é bheith tofa mar Bhall den Acadamh, agus níl ballraíocht ar fáil ach dóibh siúd a chónaíonn in Éirinn. Tá baill i dteideal an suaitheantas 'MRIA' a chur lena n-ainm. Cuidíonn na Baill leis an Acadamh trí fhreastal a dhéanamh ar a choistí agus ar a ghrúpaí oibre éagsúla, trí ionadaíocht a dhéanamh ar son an Acadaimh go náisiúnta agus go hidirnáisiúnta, agus trína saineolas a thabhairt lena léiriú don phobal conas a chuireann na heolaíochtaí agus na daonnachtaí le leas ár saoil agus an phobail.
