TheIntercontinental Cup was abaseball tournament between the members of the then-International Baseball Federation (IBAF). It was first held in1973 inItaly, and was held every other year following until1999.
After 1999, the tournament was held every few four years—in 2002,2006 and2010. The tournament was dominated byCuba which won 10 gold and 3 silver in 16 tournaments. The most recent tournament was held in 2010, inTaichung,Taiwan, and appears to have been the last time the tournament was held.[1][2]
