After a nail-biting victory in the championship match versus Japan, Argentina was able to bring the trophy back to their country for the first time in 2019.
The trophy is designed to resemble the upper body profile of a batter following a vigorous swing. This design was inspired by the tournament logo. The most identifiable component of the logo is the classic blue helmet, while the golden arch represents the honor of representing one’s country in the highest-level competition in the world. The World Cup of Softball is held every four years. The picture depicts the development of the sport as well as its proliferation around the world using curves.

The majority of the five-kilogram trophy is made of brass metal, while the details are made of 24k gold, silver plating, or plexiglass. The individual components are initially produced with each and every minute detail in mind, and then they are later hand-finished. Putting together the trophy is the very last and most crucial step in the process.
The 45 centimeter trophy, which was designed and manufactured by Italian goldsmiths Fratelli Pazzaglia in Pisa, Italy, was presented for the first time in 2019, and Argentina was the team that brought it home after a thrilling victory in the championship match against Japan.
