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 have an impact on the IBAF World Rankings.[1]
