The 2001 Baseball World Cup (BWC) was the 34th international Men's amateur baseball tournament.

The tournament was sanctioned by the International Baseball Federation, which titled it the Amateur World Series from the 1938 tournament through the 1986 AWS.

The tournament was held, for the first time, in Taiwan, from 6 to 18 November.

Cuba defeated the United States in the final, winning its 23rd title.

The next five competitions were also held as the BWC tournament, which was replaced in 2015 by the quadrennial WBSC Premier12.
