Curaçao national baseball team

The Netherlands Antilles team was controlled by the Netherlands Antillean Baseball Federation. Like the Curaçao national team, it was distinct from the Netherlands national baseball team, though for certain tournaments (namely the World Baseball Classic), Dutch Antillean players were eligible to represent the Netherlands.^[3] In other tournaments, such as the 1988 Baseball World Cup, both the Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles competed.

The Dutch Antillean national team was largely composed of players from Curaçao and Aruba, until the latter split off in 1986 to form its own constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Aruba national baseball team would compete against the Netherlands Antilles at the 1991 Pan American Games.

The Netherlands Antilles were represented in twelve Baseball World Cups, making their first appearance at the 1952 Amateur World Series. The team's highest finish was 7th place, at the 1973 Amateur World Series in Cuba.^[4]

The Netherlands Antilles was dissolved as a unified political entity on 10 October 2010.^[5] Since then, players from the former Dutch Antilles have continued to play on the Netherlands national team for the World Baseball Classic. For minor international competitions, Curaçao has fielded its own national team, as have Bonaire and Sint Maarten.
