The 2008 America Baseball Cup was held in the Venezuelan cities of Puerto Ordaz and El Tigre, from September 26 to October 7. The tournament acted as a qualifier for the 2009 World Cup.

"America Baseball Cup" is the English translation of the competition's Spanish name, which is Copa America de Beisbol.[1] The competition was used to select the teams that represented Central and South America — including the Caribbean — in the Baseball World Cup.[1]

Format and participation

The tournament is split up into 2 groups. Group A consists of Venezuela, Nicaragua, Colombia, Netherlands Antilles and Mexico, and Group B consists of Puerto Rico, Brazil, Aruba, Guatemala and Panama.

Cuba did not compete because they already qualified for the 2009 World Cup as they were Olympic competitors the same year.[2]

Results

Puerto Rico won the tournament, defeating Nicaragua 4:1 in the final.[3]
