Organized under the auspices of WBSC Americas (previously COPABE) under various names since 1985, including as the Pan American Championship (Spanish: Premundial Panamericano or Campeonato Panamericano), it has historically served as the qualifier for major international tournaments like the Olympics and the Pan American Games.[2] In 2002, the tournament was rebranded as the "Serie de las Américas" and acted as a qualifier for the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo.The event, initially scheduled to be held in March 2020 in Arizona, was postponed to May 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[10] In November 2024, ESPN reported that the WBSC had approved a plan to revive the Copa América tournament, scheduled to be played in November 2025 with the 12 best-ranked national teams in the Americas by WBSC World Rankings.According to a source, the United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic are all being considered to host the tournament.
