2025 Aussie Spirit vs Chinese Taipei, Women’s International Softball Series

International softball is set to return to Queensland this November, with the Aussie Spirit vs Chinese Taipei, Women’s International Softball Series scheduled at Redlands Softball Association from Saturday 22 – Wednesday 26 November 2025.

The series will see two of the world’s top softball nations go head-to-head across four days of action packed competition, giving fans the chance to witness elite international softball right here on home soil.

Chinese Taipei are no strangers to Australia, their last visit in early 2024 saw the two sides face off in a six-game friendly series, with the Aussies taking the honours 5–1. This time, both teams will be sharpening their skills with major global events on the horizon – the WBSC Women’s World Cup Qualifiers in 2026 and the WBSC Women’s World Cup Finals in 2027, which will be proudly hosted in Queensland.

Australia hosted the first ever Women’s Softball World Cup in 1965, where they beat the USA to claim the inaugural world champions title. The event was the first women’s World Cup of any sport ever held in Australia. 

Clare Walker, General Manager Game Development at Softball Australia, said the series is another milestone moment for softball in Australia.

“We are excited to welcome Chinese Taipei back to Queensland, hosting world-class opposition not only provides our Aussie Spirit athletes with the chance to test themselves against elite international competition, but also gives Australian fans the opportunity to see top-level softball in their own backyard. With the Women’s World Cup Finals coming to Queensland in 2027, series like this are a crucial step in building our high-performance program, inspiring the next generation and showcasing the best our game has to offer.”
