A Little League World Series game at Howard J. Lamade Stadium in South Williamsport.
A Little League World Series game at Howard J. Lamade Stadium in South Williamsport.

The Little League World Series is a baseball tournament for children aged 11 and 12 years old. Named for the World Series in Major League Baseball, it was first held in 1947 and is held every August in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania in the United States. (The postal address of the organization is in Williamsport, but the stadium complex is in South Williamsport.) Initially, only teams from the US competed, but it has since become a worldwide tournament. The tournament has gained popular renown, especially in the United States, where games from the Series and even from regional tournaments are broadcast on ESPN.

In 2006, the age limit was changed such that players could turn 13 after May 1, not August 1, as had previously been the case.

In the summer months leading up to the Little League World Series, held each year in August, Little Leagues around the world select an All-Star team made up of players from its league. It is these All-Star teams that compete in district, sectional, state, and regional tournaments hoping to advance to Williamsport for the Little League World Series. How many games a team has to play varies from region to region. In the United States, the tournaments at the lowest (district) level lack nationwide standardization. Some use pool play or double elimination, while others use single elimination.

In the United States, the fate of district winners varies widely from state to state. In some larger states such as New York, Florida and California, the district winners advance to one of many sectional tournaments. The winners of each sectional tournament then advance to a state or divisional tournament, currently held only in Texas and California, which closely resemble the state tournaments held in less densely populated states. Most smaller states lack competition at the sectional level and go straight from district to state tournaments. A handful of states are composed of only one district, and the district champion is the automatic state champion.


With four exceptions, every state as well as the District of Columbia crowns a state champion, and sends that team to represent it to one of eight regional tournaments. The exceptions involve California, Texas, and the states of North Dakota and South Dakota. Because of their large geographic and population sizes, California and Texas send two representatives to their regional tournament; Northern California and Southern California in the West region tournament and Texas East and Texas West (whose areas encompass more than the geographical areas of East Texas and West Texas, splitting roughly along the I-35/I-37 corridor) compete in the Southwest region tournament. Conversely, because of their sparse population, the Dakotas have one district spanning the two states, and its winner becomes the joint champion and advances to the Midwest region tournament. ...

The state champions (as well as the Northern California, Southern California, Texas East, Texas West and Dakotas champions) compete in one of eight different regional tournaments. Each regional tournament winner then advances to the Little League World Series. See [1] for a comprehensive breakdown of current and historical US regional tournament locations, participants and results.


Other countries and regions pick their own way of crowning a champion. Little League Canada holds tournaments at the provincial and regional level to field five champions at the national tournament: Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, the Atlantic Provinces, and the Prairie Provinces. The host site of the national tournament varies from year to year, and the home team gets an automatic berth as the sixth team.

World Series breakdown

A Little League World Series Game at Howard J. Lamade Stadium in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, USA.
A Little League World Series Game at Howard J. Lamade Stadium in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, USA.

The Little League World Series consists of 16 teams—8 from the United States, and 8 from other countries. Prior to 2001 there were eight teams in the LLWS: four U.S. teams (North, South, East, and West) and four international (Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia). (In 1975 there were only four teams in the LLWS, all from the United States. The international teams returned in 1976.)

The 16 teams are divided into two brackets, the United States Bracket and the International Bracket. Each team is then randomly assigned to one of two "pools" in their respective bracket. In the opening days of the tournament, the teams compete round robin within their own pool. The top two teams in each pool advance to the semifinal of their bracket, where the 1st place team from one pool competes against the 2nd place team from the other. The respective winners advance to play in either the United States or International Final. The U.S. champion and the International champion advance to compete in the Little League World Series Championship Game. The term round-robin describes correspondence authored or signed by numerous individuals to a single addressee. ...


The eight regional tournament winners which compete in the United States Bracket of the Little League World Series, as well as the states those regional champions could possibly hail from are as follows:

  • New England (ME, NH, VT, MA, RI, CT)
  • Mid-Atlantic (PA, NY, NJ, MD, DC, DE)
  • Midwest (ND/SD, NE, KS, MN, IA, MO)
  • Great Lakes (MI, WI, OH, IN, IL, KY)
  • Southeast (VA, WV, NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, TN)
  • Southwest (MS, LA, AR, TX East, TX West, OK, CO, NM)
  • Northwest (AK, WA, OR, ID, MT, WY)
  • West (AZ, NV, UT, CA (Northern), CA (Southern), HI)

The eight divisions which compete in the International Bracket are as follows:

  • Canada
  • Mexico
  • Caribbean
  • Latin America
  • Japan
  • Asia-Pacific
  • Europe-Middle East-Africa (EMEA)
  • Transatlantic

The Transatlantic and EMEA regions are geographically identical. Leagues from the Transatlantic region generally consist of children and other dependents of American expatriates, typically Armed Forces personnel, international organization members, and oil company workers (such as the team representing the Saudi Aramco Residential Camp in Dhahran, which has advanced to the World Series 19 times, including the last eight in succession). The leagues within the "EMEA" region consist of players native to the league's own country. Representative teams for the Trans-Atlantic region must be at least 51% nationals of Canada, the U.S. or Japan. Teams for the EMEA region can have no more than three players from those three countries. The armed forces of the United States of America consist of the United States Army United States Navy United States Air Force United States Marine Corps United States Coast Guard Note: The United States Coast Guard has both military and law enforcement functions. ... Saudi Aramco Residential Camp in Dhahran, casually known by its inhabitants as the Dhahran Aramco Camp, is the residential community built by the company of Saudi Aramco for its employees. ...


The current regional setup was established effective with the 2007 World Series, when Japan was split from the Asia Region into its own region, and the remainder of the Asia Region combined with the former Pacific Region to form the Asia-Pacific Region. The 2007 Little League World Series, held in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania, will be held August 17 through August 26. ...

Championship notes

  • In 1975, Little League Baseball banned all non-US teams from the World Series. After considerable criticism, the ban was rescinded the following year.[2]
  • In 1985, Mexicali (MX) represented the Western Region of the United States because of its proximity to the El Centro/Calexico area in Southern California, and the potential players from that region could have played for that city's leagues. It represented California's District 22 in the Southern California region, and won the Western Region tournament. After the 1985 Series, the region was shifted from California leagues to Mexico leagues.
