Baseball World Cup turnamen internasional pada tim baseball nasional yang mana dari sekitar dunia bersaing. Disetujui oleh Federasi Baseball Internasional.

Sudah ada 36 Cangkir Dunia Baseball sehingga kini; turnamen pertama, yang diadakan pada 1938, menampilkan hanya dua tim tetapi lima terakhir sama sekali sudah menampilkan 16 tim. World Cup yang paling baru saja diadakan pada 2005 pada Belanda. Turnamen secara umum mendapat publisitas yang relatif kecil, dan tidak mulai menjelang kepopuleran football (sepakbola) World Cup, jengkerik World Cup atau rugbi World Cup. Sampai 1996 pertandingan dibatasi kepada pemain amatir. Sejak 1996, profesional pemain liga kecil sudah bersaing, tetapi Baseball Liga Utama tidak membolehkan pemainnya mengambil bagian. Di bulan-bulan memimpin sampai profil tinggi terlebih dulu World Baseball Classic, banyak komentator menandakannya sebagai "Baseball World Cup", barangkali tidak menyadari bahwa turnamen sebanyak itu sudah menamai ada dan mempunyai selama hampir tujuh puluh tahun. Tetapi, Klasik Baseball Dunia adalah turnamen baseball internasional pertama untuk memasukkan pemain dari liga utama, membuatkannya kesepadanan yang lebih seksama ke dunia yang lain cangkir, yang termasuk pemain dari liga profesional yang paling bergengsi, daripada Baseball World Cup.

The XXXVII International Baseball Federation Baseball World Cup will be held in Taiwan from November 6 through November 18, 2007. Four stadiums will host the tournament. Taichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium and Taichung Baseball Field in Taichung City, Tianmu Baseball Stadium in Taipei City and Sinjhuang City will all play host to the tournament. Sixteen teams are scheduled to participate, though as of this time, Venezuela’s participation is currently in question due to possible sanctions to be considered by the International Baseball Federation in the wake of their refusal to grant visas to a youth team from Taichung to participate in the Youth World Baseball championships in August, 2007. ^[1] China was originally scheduled to participate in Pool B, but has dropped out and has been replaced by Thailand, who placed fifth behind China at the Asian Games behind China.

BaseBall in Olympics:

Baseball at the Summer Olympics had its unofficial debut at the 1904 Summer Olympics and has been contested in 12 Olympiads (including its centennial in 2004 Athens). Since then, 17 different nations have appeared in Olympic baseball competition, with 3 of those nations, Cuba, Italy and Japan, appearing in all 4 medal editions of the tournament. Baseball has a long history as an exhibition/demonstration sport in the Olympics. However, for 1992 Barcelona the International Olympic Committee (IOC) granted the sport medal status. Olympic baseball is governed by the International Baseball Federation (IBAF).

At the IOC meeting in July 2005, baseball and softball were voted out of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England, becoming the first sport voted out of the Olympics since Polo was eliminated in the 1936 Olympics hosted in Berlin, Germany. The event remains on the docket for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. The elimination will excise 16 teams and more than 300 athletes from the 2012 Olympics. The two slots left available by the IOC's elimination were not filled by new sports, so both baseball and softball can reemerge as events in the 2016 Olympics, provided no new sports are adopted into the games and both receive enough votes to be included.
