It is played among the annual champions of the Nippon Professional Baseball's Japan Series, the Korea Baseball Organization's Korean Series, the Chinese Professional Baseball League's Taiwan Series, and the China Baseball League's championship series. Prior to 2008, China Stars, an all-star team of China Baseball League participated in the series instead of the champion from China.
