All-Japan University Baseball Championship Series

The All-Japan University Baseball Championship Series was started in 1952, long after Japan had a national high school championship, the Koshien Tournaments. To this day (2010), the high school tourneys still have much more press in Japan and abroad than Japan's college tournament. The All-Japan University Baseball Championship Series is held at Meiji-Jingu Stadium.
