History

[edit]

Australia was scheduled to take part in the inaugural Baseball5 World Cup held in Mexico City in November 2022.[2] However, the team did not participate and was replaced by Hong Kong less than one month before the beginning of the tournament.[3]

Australia made its Baseball5 World Cup debut in 2024 in Hong Kong.[4] Trials were held in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland to determine the squad that would play in the World Cup.[5] Australia debuted with two defeats on the first day of the tournament against Mexico and Japan. The team finished last in Group B in the Opening Round, losing their remaining games against China, Tunisia and France.
