The Great Britain national baseball team is the national baseball team of Great Britain.

It is governed by the British Baseball Federation, which is a member nation of the Confederation of European Baseball.

Great Britain is credited with winning the inaugural Baseball World Cup (BWC) in 1938, beating the United States by four games to one in an international series hosted in England.

This series was subsequently declared the first world championship of amateur baseball by the International Baseball Federation (IBAF) and so Great Britain became the first World Amateur Champions.

However, it was over 70 years before the team qualified for another world championship event, reaching the 2009 Baseball World Cup by virtue of its second-place finish at the 2007 European Baseball Championship.
