• Source: International Amateur Baseball Tournament

The International Amateur Baseball Tournament was held in Mexico City in 1968 between four different national baseball teams. The tournament occurred shortly after the 1968 Olympic Games, also in Mexico City, though it was not considered part of the Olympic program. It was billed as the first edition of the tournament, but the format was not continued; future international amateur tournaments, including the following year in Santo Domingo, would continue to bill themselves as the Amateur World Series.
The champion United States team was coached by veteran college coach Danny Litwhiler. It lost only one game, in a ten-inning shutout to Mexico. The U.S. team included several future major leaguers, namely Brent Strom, Larry Gura, Lenny Randle, and Steve Rogers. Other future major leaguers included Puerto Rico's Miguel Fuentes.
