Baseball World Classic History

The Baseball World Classic has been held in 2006, 2009, 2013, and 2017. It was planned to hold the event every four years, however, the 2021 planned event was canceled due to the ongoing coronavirus. The 5th tournament was held in 2023, and will be followed by another in 2026.

A similar event, the Baseball World Cup was held from 1938 to 2011, but it was not continued after 2011. A major limitation of that tournament was that Major League Baseball did not allow its players to participate.
