Since 1976, a U.S. final is played. The winner plays versus the International Champion for the LLWS championship. In 2021, no international teams participated in the tournament which meant there was no official U.S. final. The 2021 LLWS championship game is also considered the U.S. championship game.
As the 2023 Little League World Series
As of the 2024 LLWS, six states, and the federal district of Washington D.C., have only ever appeared in regional tournaments and have never advanced to the LLWS. In 2023, North Dakota became the most recent state to qualify for their first world series after a tournament expansion took place.
