Baseball was contested at the 1930 Central American and Caribbean Games in Havana, Cuba. All of the games were played at the Estadio Cervecería Tropical, which was built especially for the games.[1]

Cuba won its second consecutive gold medal, and Mexico its second consecutive silver; both teams had participated in the inaugural 1926 Games in Mexico City. The 1930 Games expanded the baseball tournament to five countries; it marked the international debuts of the Panama, El Salvador, and Guatemala national baseball teams.
