Little League Baseball banned all non-US teams from this tournament, due to allegations of teams from Taiwan using out-of-district players.[1] After an uproar of criticism and an investigation that could produce no evidence of rules violations,[2] the ban was rescinded for the 1976 event.[3] The next LLWS tournament held without international teams was the 2021 edition, played during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
