Triple A Minor League

Jackie Robinson, then with the Triple-A Montreal Royals in July 1946

Prior to 1946, the top level of Minor League Baseball was Double-A, which had been established in 1912. The Triple-A classification was created before the 1946 season, and began with all three leagues then in Double-A moving up to the new level:

American Association (AA)
International League (IL)
Pacific Coast League (PCL)

This structure persisted for the next 75 years with only a few changes:

1952–1957: The PCL was classified as "Open" for these six seasons, in anticipation of it potentially becoming a third major league; once the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants relocated from New York City to California, the PCL returned to Triple-A for the 1958 season.
1963–1968: The AA did not operate during these six seasons.
1967: The Mexican League received Triple-A classification; it had previously been Double-A since 1955
1979: The Inter-American League debuted with a Triple-A classification; the league disbanded in June
1998: Teams from the AA, which disbanded after the 1997 season, were added to the PCL and IL

The IL, PCL, and Mexican League continued as Triple-A leagues until Major League Baseball reorganized the minor leagues prior to the 2021 season. At that time, the IL and PCL were temporarily renamed Triple-A East and Triple-A West, respectively. The Mexican League continues to operate, independently. Following MLB's acquisition of the rights to the names of the historical minor leagues, they announced on March 16, 2022, that the leagues would once again be called the International League and the Pacific Coast League, effective with the 2022 season.

Countries

While all current and the majority of past Triple-A teams have been located in the United States, Triple-A teams have also been based in:

Canada: teams including the Montreal Royals and Ottawa Lynx of the IL and the Calgary Cannons, Edmonton Trappers, and Vancouver Mounties of the PCL
Cuba: the Havana Sugar Kings were members of the IL from 1954 to 1960
Dominican Republic: the short-lived Inter-American League had a team based here in 1979
Mexico: all Mexican League teams
Panama: one Inter-American League team in 1979
Venezuela: two Inter-American League teams in 1979
