The Azucareros de Villa Clara is a baseball club that plays in the Cuban National Series.

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 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 ninth Cuban National Series was won by Henequeneros of Matanzas, edging Mineros by 1+12 games. The season was shortened from 99 to 66 games. Industriales had its worst finish to date, ending up fourth of 12 teams.

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 29th season of the Cuban National Series, the postseason format was changed. The league directly matched its two division winners in a best-of-seven series for the league championship, while the two division runners-up played a best-of-five series for third place. A four-team round-robin tournament had previously been used, since the 1985–86 season. The 18 teams of the league, and the regular-season schedule of 48 games, remained unchanged.
