The 2023 European Champions Cup was a European baseball competition, held from 4 to 10 June 2023, in Amsterdam and Bussum, Netherlands.[1] This is the sixtieth iteration of the Cup since its inaugural tournament in 1963.[2]
It featured the top eight professional baseball teams on the continent, and it was the first tier of the four competitions organized by WBSC Europe, alongside the second-tier Confederation Cup, third-tier Federation Cup, and fourth-tier Federation Cup Qualifiers, all of which operate with a promotion and relegation system for its federations.[3]
The defending champions were Italian club Parma. The last place at the end of the tournament was relegated to the 2024 second-tier Confederation Cup.
HCAW Bussum won the tournament after defeating Parma Baseball in the final, 11–4. Amsterdam Pirates claimed the bronze, defeating Bonn Capitals 12–6 in the third place game.[4] HCAW outfielder Victor Draijer was honored with the Most Valuable Player award of the tournament.[5]
