The '''Caribbean Series''' ([[Spanish language|Spanish]]: ''Serie del Caribe'') is an annual club tournament contested by [[professional baseball]] teams in [[Latin America]]. It is organized by the [[Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation]]. The series is normally played in February, after the various [[Winter league baseball|winter leagues]] have ended their national tournaments.

The [[Dominican Republic]] has won the most Caribbean Series championships (23), with [[Tigres del Licey]] being the most successful team in the tournament's history. The series has been won by 29 teams from seven different countries. Only two teams have won the tournament two consecutive years, the most recent being [[Criollos de Caguas (baseball)|Criollos de Caguas]] from Puerto Rico in [[2017 Caribbean Series|2017]] and [[2018 Caribbean Series|2018]].

==History==
The competition was the brainchild of Venezuelan baseball entrepreneur [[Pablo Morales Pérez|Pablo Morales]] and [[Oscar Prieto Ortiz]], who devised the idea after seeing the success of the [[Serie Interamericana]] in 1946, which featured the clubs [[Brooklyn Bushwicks]] from the [[United States]], [[Leones del Caracas|Cervecería Caracas]] from Venezuela, [[Sultanes de Monterrey]] from Mexico, and an All-Star team composed of Cuban players.<ref>[http://www.museodebeisbol.com.ve/salon_2008.html Salón de la Fama y Museo del Béisbol de Venezuela Exaltados 2008 – Oscar Prieto Ortiz] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131231154149/http://www.museodebeisbol.com.ve/salon_2008.html |date=31 December 2013}} (Spanish).</ref>

[[File:Pablo Morales and Negro Prieto.jpg|150px|thumb|left|[[Pablo Morales Pérez|Pablo Morales]] and [[Oscar Prieto Ortiz|Oscar Prieto]] founded the Caribbean Series]]
Inspired by the Interamerican Series and his experience as a former president of the [[International Baseball Federation]], Morales joined Prieto and presented the idea to baseball representatives of Cuba, Panama, and Puerto Rico during a meeting held in [[Havana]] on August 21, 1948.<ref>Bjarkman, Peter (1994). ''Baseball with a Latin Beat: A History of the Latin American Game''. McFarland & Company. {{ISBN|978-0-89950-973-0}}.</ref> The representatives then agreed to stage a four-country, [[round-robin tournament]] 12-game to be known as the ''Serie del Caribe'', to be launched in Cuba from [[1949 Caribbean Series|February 20–25 of 1949]].

The Series ran annually from 1949 through 1960, with Cuba winning seven times. However, the event was suspended in 1961, as a result of the [[Cuban Revolution]]. [[Fidel Castro]] dissolved all professional baseball in Cuba, and [[MLB Commissioner]] [[Ford Frick]] ruled that American major leaguers were barred from playing in Havana, where the 1961 series had been scheduled.<ref>{{cite news |title=Caracas Grabs Latin Title Set, Cuban Loop Out |url=https://paperofrecord.hypernet.ca/paper_view.asp?PaperId=834&RecordId=1&PageId=7663237 |page=21 |access-date=20 February 2024 |agency=The Sporting News |date=11 January 1961}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Historia Serie del Caribe |access-date=14 June 2023 |language=es |url=https://seriedelcaribe.lvbp.com/historia.php|website=LVBP.com}}</ref>

It was not until 1970 that the Caribbean Series was revived. Moreover, the 1981 Caribbean Series was not held due to a Venezuelan League player's strike.

The tournament featured the champions of the [[Dominican Republic]], [[Mexico]], [[Puerto Rico]], and [[Venezuela]] for over 40 years. [[Cuba]] returned in 2014. [[Panama]] returned to host the 2019 edition. [[Colombia]] was added for the 2020 edition, replacing [[Cuba]] who could not participate due to [[Travel visa|visa]] issues. [[Curaçao]] was invited as a guest in 2023.<ref>{{cite web|title=Oficial: Cuba y Curazao jugarán en próxima Serie del Caribe en Caracas 2023|url=https://espndeportes.espn.com/beisbol/nota/_/id/10364782/oficial-cuba-y-curazao-jugaran-en-proxima-serie-del-caribe-en-caracas-2023|website=ESPNdeportes.com|first=Enrique|last=Rojas|date=13 May 2022|access-date=14 June 2023|language=es}}</ref>

== Championship games ==
Starting with the [[2013 Caribbean Series]], a championship game was introduced where the two teams with the best win–loss record from the [[Round-robin tournament|round-robin]] first stage would meet to determine the champion. In [[2013 Caribbean Series|2013]] the first round consisted of 12 games and each team faced the other teams twice, one as home club and the other as an away team; from [[2014 Caribbean Series|2014]] on, with the return of Cuban teams to the tournament, the first stage was changed to a round robin of 10 games where each team faced the other teams once.
