The 2013 World Baseball Classic qualification was the first qualifying tournament in the history of the World Baseball Classics . Of the 16 teams participating in the 2013 finals , 12 countries have already qualified based on their performance in the 2009 World Baseball Classic . These were Australia , China , the Dominican Republic , Italy , Japan , Cuba , Mexico , the Netherlands , Puerto Rico , South Korea , USA and Venezuela .

The remaining 4 participants were determined in 4 qualification tournaments. Canada , Panama , South Africa and Taiwan , who have already participated in the first two World Baseball Classics, must qualify for the finals because they did not win a game in the 2009 World Baseball Classics. As European aspirants, France , Great Britain , Germany , Spain and the Czech Republic are in the qualifiers. The field of participants was completed by Brazil , Israel , Colombia , New Zealand , Nicaragua , the Philippines and Thailand . For participation in the World Baseball Classic Qualifiers, the respective performance in previous international tournaments, active membership, number of professional players, growth and establishment of baseball in one's own country were decisive.
