Queensland U18s Set to Depart for 2025 New Taipei City U-18 Invitational
The Queensland U18 Baseball Team is preparing to embark on an exciting international tour to Taiwan for the 2025 New Taipei City International U-18 Baseball Invitational Tournament. This marks Queensland’s third consecutive appearance at the prestigious event, which brings together elite teams from across Asia and the Pacific.

The team will be based across Sanchong, Xinzhuang, and Metropolitan Baseball Fields, with three scheduled group-stage games before potential progression into finals.
The full finals schedule begins Thursday 18 December, with classification games, top-12 playoffs, and a championship match on Saturday 20 December.
