The Asia Professional Baseball Championship (APBC) is a World Baseball Softball Confederation-sanctioned international baseball competition jointly launched with the Chinese Professional Baseball League, Korea Baseball Organization and Nippon Professional Baseball leagues. The three-nation tournament is contested by the U-24 national teams of Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.[1][2]

Alongside the Asia Winter Baseball League, the APBC serves as successor to the heritage of the defunct and inactive Asia Series.
