The 1986 Amateur World Series was the 29th Amateur World Series (AWS), an international Men's amateur baseball tournament. The tournament was sanctioned by the International Baseball Federation (IBAF). The tournament took place, for the first time, in the Netherlands, from July 19 to August 2, and was won by Cuba – its 18th AWS victory.
