Hawaii competed in the third edition of the Amateur World Series in 1940, where it finished fifth.
Hawaii also participated in the 1940 East Asian Games, held in Tokyo as a substitute for the canceled 1940 Summer Olympics. The territory was represented by the Hawaii Asahis amateur team. It lost all three of its games to Japan (4–3), the Philippines (4–2), and Manchukuo (1–0).[1][2]
Though ostensibly a club tournament, Hawaii was represented by the Honolulu Red Sox at the 1955 Global World Series, organized by the National Baseball Congress.
