Little League World Series The Little League Baseball World Series is an annual baseball tournament in the eastern United States for children aged 11 to 13 years old.

The Series was first held 70 years ago in 1947 and is held every August in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.[2] (Although the postal address of the organization is in Williamsport, the Series itself is played at Howard J. Lamade Stadium and Volunteer Stadium at the Little League headquarters complex in South Williamsport.)
