Nippon Series

As  ou , tamén coñecidas como Japan Series, son as series finais que deciden o campión anual da Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB), a máxima competición do béisbol profesional nipón. Estas series, que se xogan ao mellor de sete partidos, enfrontan aos campións da Liga Central e da Liga do Pacífico. Xogadas normalmente en outubro ou novembro, o primeiro equipo que venza en catro xogos é considerado o campión do Xapón (日本一 Nippon Ichi). Entre 2005 e 2013 o campión das Nippon Series convirtísase no representante do país das Series Asiáticas.
