The 2027 Women's Baseball World Cup will be the 10th edition of the Women's Baseball World Cup, the quadrennial international baseball championship organised under the aegis of World Baseball Softball Confederation for the women's national teams across the world. It will be held in Taiwan and United States from July and August 2026, with the latter hosting the finals on 19 to 25 July 2027. This will be Chinese Taipei and United States' second time hosting. The finals will be in Rockford, Illinois.
For the fourth time, 12 teams took part, following the expansion in 2016. Continental championships acted as qualification. Qualifiers took place between August 2025 and May 2026. The hosts Chinese Taipei and United States automatically qualified, although the former already qualified on merit. Great Britain and Philippines will make their debut.
Japan are the seven-time defending champions, recently beating United States 11–6 at the 2024 final in Thunder Bay.
