Serie A2 is the top division of amateur baseball in Italy. It debuted 10 April 2010, having been born following the institution of the country's first professional championship, Serie A1, then called the Italian Baseball League, with 24 teams across Italy, including Sardinia, and the objective of increasing the national interest in the sport.
