The Prague Baseball Week (PBW) starts with six teams on Tuesday at the ballpark of the Eagles Prague, which also will be the venue of preliminary round pool A at the IBAF Baseball World Cup in September with the Czech Republic, Australia, Taiwan and Mexico. The PBW begins with a round robin first round and lasts until Saturday.
Last year the Czech National Team captured the trophy with a 3-0 shutout over France. Croatia finished in third place. In the 2009 edition the Czech Baseball Association sends their senior and the junior national teams into the tournament. Additionally the national teams from Austria, Croatia and Sweden will be on hand, plus a team from Moscow, Russia. Parallel to the PBW the Prague Softball Week with the Czech under-19 Team, Sweden, the Eagles Prague and Argentina also take place.
