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.
