The 2007 Baseball World Cup (BWC) was the 37th 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 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.

There were 18 participating countries, split into two groups, with the first four of each group qualifying for the finals. Games were played in four cities: Taichung City (atTaichung Intercontinental Baseball Stadium and Taichung Baseball Field); Taipei City (atTianmu Baseball Stadium); New Taipei City (Xinzhuang Baseball Stadium; and Yunlin (Douliu Baseball Stadium).

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. China was originally scheduled to participate in Pool B, but dropped out and was replaced by the Thai national team, who placed fifth behind China at the 2006 Asian Games.

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

These five players were not eligible to play in the Games #3 and #11.
The Panama team must forfeit both Games #3 and #11.
