Kinki University Baseball League

The Kinki University Baseball League was founded in 1948, and it was the second division of the Kansai6 Baseball League from 1962 to 1980. It has three divisions, the first and second divisions having 6 schools and the third having 5. The first-place finishers of the second and third division can have a chance to advance by playing a 3-game series with the last place of the higher division due to promotion and relegation. The spring champion represents the league at the All-Japan University Baseball Championship Series, and the fall champion can advance to the "Kansai University Tournament". They then play teams from the Kansai Big Six University League, Hanshin University Baseball League, Keiji University Baseball League and Kansai6 Baseball League, fighting for a spot in the Meiji Jingu Baseball Convention.
