The Australian women's national baseball team, nicknamed the Emeralds,[2] represents Australia in international women's baseball tournaments and competitions. The team is controlled by the Australian Baseball Federation,[3] which is represented in the Baseball Confederation of Oceania (BCO). They are the only team in Oceania to be formally ranked by the International Baseball Federation (IBAF), and are the 3rd ranked women's baseball team in the world.[4][5] The Emeralds have been in existence since 2001, when the first ever squad was selected from the 2001 National Women’s Championships, held in Sydney.[6] They compete in the biennial IBAF Women’s Baseball World Cup.

The team has competed at all eight Women's Baseball World Cups, most recently finishing seventh in 2018. The next major tournament will be the 2020 Women's Baseball World Cup.
