The tournament was held, for the second time, in Taiwan (which played as Chinese Taipei), from November 6 to 18.

The United States defeated Cuba in the final, winning its third title.

At one time, Venezuela’s participation was in question due to possible sanctions to be considered by the International Baseball Federation in the wake of their refusal to grant visas to a youth team from Taichung to participate in the Youth World Baseball championships in August, 2007,[1] but they were allowed to participate.

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

[2] All group B games are played either at Tienmu Baseball Stadium in Taipei City or at Xinzhuang Baseball Stadium in Taipei County.
