The tournament was initiated by the Venezuelans Oscar "El Negro" Prieto and Pablo Morales and should be organized as the Inter-American Baseball Championship. The tournament was held for the first time in 1949, at the time with teams from Panama , Cuba , Puerto Rico and Venezuela. From 1949 to 1960 Cuba was the most successful participating country with 7 wins and 3 teams with 2 tournament victories each.

In 1961 the professional baseball league in Cuba was abolished and this led to an early end to the series del Caribe. In 1970 the tournament was re-organized, without the participation of Cuba and Panama, newcomers were Mexico and the Dominican Republic. In 2014, a team from Cuba took part for the first time since 1960. The most successful team are the Tigres del Licey from Santo Domingo , Dominican Republic, with 10 wins.
