In addition to the Olympiad, players can also compete for their countries in one of 10 international tournaments. These tournaments are held in the fall, between the end of the Major League season and opening day for leagues in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Africa Cup is made up of the top-20 baseball nations in Africa, split into North and South divisions. The top-5 teams in each division advance to a round robin playoff similar to the Olympiad.

The Africa Cup has been won by Egypt (6x), South Africa (6x), Ethiopia (once), and Nigeria (once).

The Asia Cup is comprised of 20 Asian nations split into a "Pro League" and a "Challenger League." 6 teams from the Pro League and 2 teams from the Challenger League advance to a round robin playoff. The teams in each league are:

Pro League: Japan, South Korea, China, India, Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong

Challenger League: Thailand, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Myanmar, Malaysia, Nepal, North Korea, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Laos, Singapore, Mongolia.

If a team from the Challenger League wins the Asia Cup, they will be promoted to the Pro League, with the team last place in the Pro League demoted. This has yet to happen.

The Asia Cup has been won by Japan (7x), South Korea (4x), India (2x), and China (once).

The EuroCup is made up of 48 countries across Europe, with teams split into four divisions of 12. Teams play 11 games in the regular season, with the top-4 in each group advancing to a round robin playoff.

The EuroCup has been won by the Netherlands (4x), France (3x), England (3x), Germany (2x), Spain (once) and Italy (once).

The Caribe Cup features 20 countries from the Caribbeans, split into four divisions, the Caribe East and West, and the Antilles North and South. Teams play 4 games each in the regular season, once against each opponent in their division. The top-4 in each "Caribe" division advance, while only first place in the Antilles divisions advance.

Puerto Rico (7x), Dominican Republic (5x), and Cuba (2x) have won Caribe Cups so far.

The Latin America Cup stretches across Central and South America, comprised of 22 nations split into three geographically-based divisions. The top-two teams from each division advance to a single round robin playoff.

Champions of the Latin America Cup so far have been: Venezuela (6x), Colombia (4x), Mexico (2x), Brazil (once) and Panama (once).

The Middle East Cup is made up of 25 countries split into five divisions. 10 teams advance to a single-group round robin playoff.

The Middle East Cup has been won by Saudi Arabia (5x), Turkey (3x), Israel (2x), Iran (2x), Pakistan (once) and Qatar (once).

The States Cup is my personal favorite tournament to watch. Rather than play for Team USA, American players instead suit up for their home state/territory. The States Cup features all 50 states, plus 5 U.S. territories. Puerto Rico is not included, as they are occupied with the Caribe Cup.

States Cup winners: Texas (3x), California (2x), Illinois (2x), Arizona (once), Washington (once), Florida (once), New York (once).

The Canada Cup will be Canada's version of the States Cup. It is currently a work in progress.

The Oceania Cup is also a work in progress, and will be Oceania's international tournament.
