Cienfuegos is a baseball team in the Cuban National Series. Based in the southern city of Cienfuegos, the Camaroneros had their best season in their second year of existence, finishing fourth in the National Series. They have never come close to replicating that success.
The Camaroneros had two pitchers on Cuba's team at the 2006 World Baseball Classic: Adiel Palma and Yosvany Pérez.
