The 2024 Women's Baseball World Cup was the ninth Women's Baseball World Cup, an international baseball tournament that was held in Thunder Bay, Canada and Miyoshi, Japan. The group stage took place from 8 to 13 August 2023 as two separate tournaments in two separate locations. The finals took place in Thunder Bay, Canada in 2024. This was the first women's world cup held in two stages. It was the third time Canada has hosted the tournament and the first time more than one nation has hosted the tournament. [1] Defending champions Japan successfully retained their title. The United States defeated Japan in the second round, handing Japan its first loss in the tournament since 2012, but Japan defeated the U.S. in the championship game.
