The Baseball World Cup is an international tournament in which national
baseball teams from around the world compete. It is sanctioned by the
International Baseball Federation.
There have been 36 Baseball World Cups to date; the first tournament,
held in 1938, featured only two teams but the last five have all
featured 16 teams. The most recent World Cup was held in 2005 in the
Netherlands. The tournament generally receives relatively little
publicity, and does not begin to approach the popularity of the football
(soccer) World Cup, cricket World Cup or rugby World Cup. Until 1996 the
competition was limited to amateur players. 
Since 1996, professional minor league players have competed, but Major
League Baseball has not allowed its players to participate. In the
months leading up to the high-profile first World Baseball Classic, many
commentators heralded it as a "Baseball World Cup", perhaps not
realizing that a tournament by that name already exists and has for
almost seventy years. However, the World Baseball Classic was the first
international baseball tournament to include players from the major
leagues, making it a closer equivalent to the other world cups, which
include players from the most prestigious professional leagues, than the
Baseball World Cup.
