2021: The IOC postponed the Olympic Games to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Baseball was originally scheduled on 2020,
Jul 29 - Aug 08.
The International World Games Association (IWGA) organizes the World Games every 4 years.
Thus, an International Sports Federation (IF) can become a member of the IWGA; it must
satisfy two essential conditions:
The IF must be a member of GAISF (the umbrella organization for all (Olympic and non-Olympic)
international sports federations), and their sport does not belong to the current Olympic program.
Since 1989, the World Games are under the special patronage of the IOC.

Since 1999, there have been contacts
between the American Women's Baseball League and Japan and contests in
the U.S. and Japan were organized. They decided to expand the
activities and to organize a Women's World Series. Therefore, the Women's International Baseball Association - WIBA (president 2001 - 2004: Jim Glennie USA) was formed on Apr 10, 2001
in Tokyo. The founding members were AUS, JPN, CAN and USA.
With the introduction of a Women's World Cup by the IBAF in
2004, the need for a separate women's world association was no
longer present and the WIBA ceased its activities.
