Note: Orientales had been named Oriente before this season.
The inaugural season of the Cuban National Series was won by Occidentales, composed largely of players from Pinar del Río.
The second season of the Cuban National Series was a display of parity, as three of the four teams were within one game of .500. Tied at the top were Industriales and Oriente, so they played a best-of-three tie-breaker to decide the title, resulting in the first of many titles for Industriales.
Industriales began to make a habit of Cuban National Series titles during the 1964-65 season, the fourth installment of Cuba's new post-revolutionary amateur baseball league. The team, representing Havana, won its third straight title.
The fifth season of the Cuban National Series saw expansion both in the number of teams and the number of games played. Two new teams, Henequeneros and Centrales, were formed, and the schedule was nearly doubled, from 39 games per team to 65.
In the sixth season of the Cuban National Series, Orientales dethroned four-time champion Industriales to win their only championship. Three other teams finished within three games of first place, while Las Villas and Granjeros both finished with losing records.
In the seventh season of the Cuban National Series, Habana won the title, outdistancing Industriales by five games. The season saw a significant expansion of the league, from six to 12 teams. Additionally, each team's schedule grew from 65 to 99 games.
The eighth Cuban National Series was won by Azucareros, with defending champion Habana and four-time champion Industriales finishing just a single game behind. The number of teams and length of schedule remained unchanged from the previous season.
The 10th season of the Cuban National Series ended with Azucareros taking the title, finishing just ahead of a group including Habana, Granjeros and Industriales.
The 12th season of the Cuban National Series saw Industriales win its fifth championship, outdistancing Habana and two-time defending champion Azucareros. The league expanded from 12 to 14 teams, with the addition of Constructores and Serranos, and increased the season length from 66 to 78 games.
In the 13th season of the Cuban National Series, Habana won its second league title, finishing with a comfortable five-game cushion over Constructores.
The 16th Cuban National Series won won by Citricultores, hailing from Matanzas Province. They finished with a slim lead over Vegueros from Pinar del Río Province. The length of schedule and the teams within the league again remained the same as the prior season.
The 20th Cuban National Series saw Vegueros, from Pinar del Río Province, win its second title, with Villa Clara and Citricultores each finishing three games behind. The 18 teams of the league, each with a 51-game schedule, remained unchanged from the prior season.
The 22nd season of the Cuban National Series was dominated by Villa Clara, who finished with a seven-game lead over second-place finishers Citricultores and Camagüey. The league's 51-game schedule and 18 teams remained unchanged from the prior season.
Villa Clara won its third straight Cuban National Series title during the 1994-95 season.
Santiago de Cuba won its third straight Cuban National Series crown, under manager Higinio Vélez.
The 38th Cuban National Series saw Santiago de Cuba, which qualified for the playoffs, win three close series to take its first title in ten years.
Pinar del Río won its second straight Cuban National Series. Perennial cellar-dwellers Guantánamo and Ciego de Ávila made the playoffs, where they were promptly swept in three games.
Pinar del Río dominated the 1996–97 Cuban National Series, posting the league's best regular season record. In the playoffs, the Vegueros, led by Omar Linares, went undefeated, sweeping both best-of-seven series.
The 30th Cuban National Series ended with Henequeros winning its second straight title. La Habana, Camagüey and Santiago de Cuba also qualified for the playoffs.
