The Asia Professional Baseball Championship (APBC) is a World Baseball Softball Confederation-sanctioned international baseball competition.

The tournament was initially launched with the Chinese Professional Baseball League, Korea Baseball Organization and Nippon Professional Baseball leagues. Beginning in 2023, the Australian Baseball League was also invited, expanding the competition to a four-nation tournament.

The tournament is contested by the U-24 national teams of Japan, South Korea,Australia and Taiwan.[1][2]

Alongside the Asia Winter Baseball League, the APBC serves as successor to the heritage of the defunct and inactive Asia Series.
