Women's World Series Baseball (defunct)

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.
