A cap rack is designed for storing and/or displaying baseball style caps in either a horizontal or vertical orientation on a vertical surface or a horizontal surface. The cap rack is designed to have a channel which extends through the length of the base, a channel retainer for attachment of a cap support unit to the base, a cap support unit comprising a hemispherically-shaped cap support section continuous with a rod section, and optionally, a pedestal unit for mounting the cap rack base in either a vertical or horizontal orientation on a horizontal surface. A plurality of cap racks can be interconnected in a vertical and/or horizontal orientation using a 4-way connector, a 90 degree connector, or a 2-way connector.
