The Asia Baseball Cup, formerly the Asian Baseball Cup, is a baseball tournament organized by WBSC Asia. It is a second-level tournament to the Asian Baseball Championship.
The organization of the BFA Asia Cup was agreed upon by the BFA executive committee in June 1994. The first edition was held in 1995 in Manila.
In 2012, the Asian Baseball Cup was divided into two separate divisions, East and West, alternatively called the East Asian Baseball Cup and West Asian Baseball Cup. From 2016, the Asian Baseball Cup tournaments are held biannually.
The tournament serves as a qualifier for two teams that will later compete in the Asian Baseball Championship, along with Chinese Taipei, Japan, South Korea and China, which automatically qualify for the latter tournament and therefore do not compete at the Asian Baseball Cup.
