The U-15 Baseball World Cup is the 15-and-under baseball world championship that features national teams as authorized ("sanctioned") by the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC). It began in 1989 as the World Youth Baseball Championship. In 2012 it became the 15U Baseball World Cup and is contested every two years. Because it is a world championship event, the results of the 15U Baseball World Cup affect the WBSC World Rankings.{{cite web | url=http://ibaf.org/fileadmin/user_upload/Files_-_world_rankings/4221-IBAF_World_Rankings_Notes.pdf | title=IBAF World Ranking Notes | date=13 January 2009 | access-date=12 October 2010 | publisher=International Baseball Federation | format=PDF | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190509034100/http://ibaf.org/fileadmin/user_upload/Files_-_world_rankings/4221-IBAF_World_Rankings_Notes.pdf | url-status=dead | archive-date=9 May 2019 }}
