The Curaçao National Championship AA League [2] ( Papiamento: Kampionato di Beisbòl Klase AA di Kòrsou), formerly referred to as Liga Amstel Bright and commonly known as the AA League (Liga Dòbel A), is a baseball summer league in Curaçao. Part of the Curaçao Baseball Federation (Federashon Beisbol Kòrsou, or FEBEKO), the AA League was the top-level baseball league in Curaçao from its foundation until 2023, when the Curaçao Professional Baseball League (CPB) was formed.
The seven-team league plays a season that ends in October, with all games played at two stadiums, Stadion Johnny Vrutaal and Tio Daou Ballpark, in the capital of Willemstad. [2] In 2023, the league's champion was invited to participate in the Caribbean Series. [3] The champion, Wildcats KJ74, featured Curaçaoan-born major leaguers like Andrelton Simmons and Jonathan Schoop. [4]
