The design motif is "Global Baseball" with the WBC logo and consists of a pedestal, four boards, and balls. The pedestal cut into four tiers represents the tournament in the fourth round (first round, second round, semi-finals, and final), and the four sloping boards extending upward from the pedestal and the feather-shaped boards facing the upper center represent the four pools in the first round. Also, the central baseball, supported by four boards, symbolizes the earth.
By team The two trophies Japan won in the 2006 and 2009 WBC have been on display at the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame while the place to display the trophy won by the Dominican Republic team is yet to be decided.
Following Venezuela's victory in the 2026 WBC, acting president Delcy Rodríguez declared a national holiday for March 18, with the exception of essential workers. She also received the trophy at the presidential palace and declared that it should tour around Venezuela.
