The World University Baseball Championship is an under-23 international college baseball competition sponsored by the International University Sports Federation (FISU) and sanctioned by the International Baseball Federation (IBAF), which was first held in 2002 in Italy. It is one of several tournaments considered by the IBAF to be considered a minor world championship, and as such the results of the tournaments affect the IBAF World Rankings.[1]
The 5th World University Baseball Championship was held from July 29 to August 8, 2010 in Tokyo, Japan and was organized by the All Japan University Baseball Federation.[2]
