The tournament was held from February 12 through February 27, 1965 in the Colombian cities of Cartagena and Barranquilla.Bjarkman Peter A History of Cuban Baseball, 1864-2006 2007 McFarland 0786428295 200 The tournament was marked by the absence of defending champions Cuba. The Colombian government, which had broken off diplomatic relations with Cuba following the Cuban Revolution, refused to grant visas to the team of Cuban players. Colombia and Mexico both finished the regular tournament with a 7-1 record. In the tie-breaking playoff series, Colombia defeated Mexico two games to one, to win its second international championship; it had previously won the 1947 Amateur World Series, also held in Colombia.
