Caronno Pertusella, Italy, welcomes the Women's Softball Cup Winners Cup A

Representing their respective nations, the participating teams of the Women's Softball European Cup Winners Cup A include the home team Caronno (ITA), Les Grizzlys de Grenoble (FRA), Hoboken Pioneers (BEL), Sant Boi (ESP), Sparks Haarlem (NED), Tempo Praha (CZE), and Wesseling Vermins (GER). 

These squads, either silver medalists in their national competitions or national cup champions, have earned the privilege to represent their countries on the continental stage.

The tournament structure features an intense single round-robin format spanning five days, culminating in the ranking games scheduled for Saturday. 

The top two teams emerging from the first round-robin battle will lock horns in the gold medal match at 20:30.

In 2022, Saronno (ITA) triumphed at the Women's Softball Cup Winners Cup A in Viladecans, Spain.

The Women's Softball European Cup Winners Cup A stands as the second most prestigious event in the women's softball calendar, right behind the Women's Softball European Premier Cup. 

The Women's Softball Cup Winners Cup A 2023 will be live-streamed on the WBSC Europe YouTube Channel. Additionally, play-by-play will be available on the WBSC Europe website.
