We develop the boundary theory of rough CAT(0) spaces, a class of length spaces that contains both Gromov hyperbolic length spaces and CAT(0) spaces. The resulting theory generalizes the common features of the Gromov boundary of a Gromov hyperbolic length space and the ideal boundary of a complete CAT(0) space. It is not assumed that the spaces are geodesic or proper
