The tournament was sanctioned by the International Baseball Federation, which titled it the Amateur World Series from the 1938 tournament through the 1986 AWS. The tournament was held, for the fourth time, in Nicaragua, from August 3 to 14.

Cuba defeated South Korea in the final to win its 21st title.

There were 16 participating countries, split into two groups, with the first four of each group qualifying for the finals.
