The 2023 European Champions Cup was a European baseball competition, held from 4 to 10 June 2023, in Amsterdam and Bussum, Netherlands. This is the sixtieth iteration of the Cup since its inaugural tournament in 1963.
It featured the top eight professional baseball teams on the continent, and it was the first tier of the four competitions organized by WBSC Europe, alongside the second-tier Confederation Cup, third-tier Federation Cup, and fourth-tier Federation Cup Qualifiers, all of which operate with a promotion and relegation system for its federations.
The defending champions were Italian club Parma. The last place at the end of the tournament was relegated to the 2024 second-tier Confederation Cup.
HCAW Bussum won the tournament after defeating Parma in the final, 11–4. Amsterdam Pirates claimed the bronze, defeating Bonn Capitals 12–6 in the third place game. HCAW outfielder Victor Draijer was honored with the Most Valuable Player award of the tournament.
