2025 Caribbean Baseball Cup

The 2025 Caribbean Baseball Cup was the 7th Caribbean Baseball Cup. It determined one spot in the 2026 Central American and Caribbean Games, though organizers were originally told there would be two spots. Held at Andre Rodgers Baseball Stadium in the Bahamas, it featured five participants: Bahamas, Curaçao (which was fielding a team in the 2025 Bolivarian Games at the same time!), Dominican Republic, San Maarten and US Virgin Islands. A notable absence was Cuba, which had won medals in the prior four Cups.
