For a closed oriented smooth 4-manifold X with b(+)(2) (X) > 0, the Seiberg-Witten invariants are well-defined. Taubes' "SW = Gr" theorem asserts that if X carries a symplectic form then these invariants are equal to well-defined counts of pseudoholomorphic curves, Taubes' Gromov invariants. In the absence of a symplectic form, there are still nontrivial closed self-dual 2-forms which vanish along a disjoint union of circles and are symplectic elsewhere. This paper and its sequel describe welldefined integral counts of pseudoholomorphic curves in the complement of the zero set of such near-symplectic 2-forms, and it is shown that they recover the Seiberg- Witten invariants over Z/2Z. This is an extension of "SW = Gr" to nonsymplectic 4-manifolds.The main result of this paper asserts the following. Given a suitable near-symplectic form omega and tubular neighborhood N - of its zero set, there are well-defined counts of pseudoholomorphic curves in a completion of the symplectic cobordism (X -N , omega) which are asymptotic to certain Reeb orbits on the ends. They can be packaged together to form "near-symplectic" Gromov invariants as a function of spin-c structures on X.
