The Pim Mulier Stadium during the 23rd edition of the tournament in 2006

In December 2016, a few months after the 28th edition of the event, event organizers announced the tournament would end, due to financial problems.^[2][3] A workgroup was formed to find sponsors in order to realise a relaunch, which succeeded after several companies and the municipality of Haarlem guaranteed an amount that would cover the costs of at least three new editions.^[4][5][6]

The 2018 Haarlem Baseball Week, the 29th edition of the event, was won by Japan, their fourth title. The 2020 edition of the tournament was cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.^[7][8]
