TAC 2025
The DUWC has now been rebranded as “The Aussie Classic” (TAC) which will carry on the tradition of the DUWC by combining tournament baseball with off field experiences only available on the glittering Gold Coast.
Bringing players from all over Australia together into teams with the opportunity to compete for the TAC Championship. Players are then eligible to be selected in their designated age groups for International Tours to the USA. These include representing the Australia Region at the Babe Ruth and Cal Ripken World Series, along with a number of other touring opportunities.
The TAC is not just a baseball tournament, it’s an experience. Giving players and their families the opportunity to develop relationships and create memories with people from across the Aussie landscape that share our passion for Baseball. All this along with Opening and Closing Ceremonies, Player and Family experience nights, Theme Parks, golden beaches and the beautiful hinterland TAC has something for every one.
