Isla de la Juventud (officially Isla de La Juventud Pirates shortened to La Isla) is a baseball team in the Cuban National Series. Based in Nueva Gerona (on the Isle of Youth), the Piratas reached the Finals of the 54th Cuban National Series, remaining as Runner-ups.

History

From their inception in 1977 until the mid-1990s, Isla de la Juventud was a perennial cellar-dweller in the National Series. However, since the 1998–99 season, when they took Industriales to a seventh game in the western final, they have been a playoff contender every year.
