WCL

WCL is an acronym used for several organizations and leagues. The two most widely recognized are the West Coast League and the World Cricket League.

West Coast League: The West Coast League (WCL) is a summer collegiate baseball league operating in the Pacific Northwest, primarily featuring college players who participate during their offseason while maintaining amateur status. Games are played with wood bats and the league serves as a platform for player development, local fan engagement, and community events across participating teams in the United States and Canada.

World Cricket League: The World Cricket League (WCL) was an international one-day cricket competition organized by the International Cricket Council from 2007 to 2019. It provided a pathway for Associate and Affiliate members to qualify for the Cricket World Cup, using a system of divisions and promotion or relegation. Matches were played in the 50-over format. In 2019 the WCL structure was replaced by new qualification pathways, including the ICC Cricket World Cup League 2 and the ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League, reorganizing how teams could advance to the World Cup.

Other uses: The acronym WCL can refer to other, less common entities in different regions or sectors. Context typically clarifies which WCL is being referenced, and new organizations may adopt the abbreviation over time.
