Why isn’t Cuba playing in the 2024 Caribbean Series?​

Not all who qualify to the series get to play the series and this is the case for Cuba, the baseball giant will miss this years competition.​


The Caribbean Series is an annual baseball tournament that brings together the champions of seven professional leagues from the Caribbean region. The 2024 edition will be held in Miami, Florida, at LoanDepot Park, the home of the Miami Marlins. This will be the first time that the Caribbean Series will be hosted outside of Latin America, and the first time that it will be played at a Major League Baseball stadium.

However, one notable absence from the 2024 Caribbean Series is Cuba, a country with a rich baseball history and tradition. Cuba was a founding member of the Caribbean Professional Baseball Confederation (CBPC), the governing body of the Caribbean Series, and participated in the tournament from 1949 to 1960, and then again from 2014 to 2019.
