10th Year Seniors

The rise comes after the national program scored 128 points in 2025, moving up three spots in the global standings.

This latest jump builds on a breakthrough year in 2024, when The Bahamas was the fastest growing program in the world. During that period, they surged 12 spots from 59 to 47.

The WBSC rankings are determined by performance in sanctioned international tournaments across senior and age-group levels, and The Bahamas’ steady ascent reflects expanded participation, and improved results on the regional and global stage.
