Caribbean Baseball Cup
The Caribbean Baseball Cup (Spanish: Copa del Caribe; Papiamento: Kopa Karibe) is a baseball tournament organized by Caribbean Baseball Confederation (COCABE), which is itself a division of WBSC Americas. It serves as a qualifier for higher-level tournaments, such as the Central American and Caribbean Games.
The tournament has served as a testing ground for smaller federations such as the Bahamas and Curaçao, whose players often represent larger national teams such as Great Britain and the Netherlands, respectively.[1] Although not a Caribbean nation, Peru has participated in the tournament three times, winning a silver medal in 2019 and a bronze medal in 2021.[2][3]
