Puerto Rico holds the second-most championships in Caribbean Series history, with 16 titles won in 1951, 1953, 1954, 1955, 1972, 1974, 1975, 1978, 1983, 1987, 1992, 1993, 1995, 2000, 2017, and 2018.
The Indios de Mayagüez have won two Caribbean Series championships in their franchise’s history, in 1978 and 1992.
From the LBPRC, the Cangrejeros de Santurce have won five titles (1951, 1953, 1955, 1993, and 2000), and the Criollos de Caguas have also won five championships (1954, 1974, 1987, 2017, and 2018).
The Cangrejeros de Santurce and Criollos de Caguas are the only teams from Puerto Rico with more than two Caribbean Series titles. Other teams from Puerto Rico that have won the Caribbean Series include the Leones de Ponce (1972), Vaqueros de Bayamón (1975), Lobos de Arecibo (1983), and Senadores de San Juan (1995).
The last Caribbean Series championship game Puerto Rico played in was in 2021 at Estadio Teodoro Mariscal in Mazatlán, Mexico, with the 2020-21 LBPRC champion Criollos de Caguas losing 4-1 to the 2020-21 LIDOM champion Águilas Cibaeñas.

Cordero is the first person in the LBPRC that has won the Rookie of the Year Award, an MVP Award, a regular-season Batting Champion title, and led a team to win a championship in the league’s winter season.
Indios de Mayagüez shortstop Isan Díaz is a player to watch for Puerto Rico at the 2025 Caribbean Series, coming off an MVP-winning performance in the 2024-25 LBPRC best-of-nine championship series.
