WBSC World Cup

The U-18 Men’s National Team has competed in WBSC World Cups dating back to 1980, earning gold medal finishes in its first two appearances. Despite competitive performances over the last several years, the U.S. has failed to advance through the medal rounds – resulting in a medal drought through its past 11 World Cups.
