Little League World Series in Australia


The Australia Region of Little League Baseball is a region designated for the Little League World Series. The division was founded in 2013 when Little League officially separated Australia from the Asia-Pacific region. This followed a period of explosive growth in youth baseball in the country; the first Little League-affiliated leagues in Australia were only established in 2007, but within five years, nearly 400 Little Leagues were operating, making Australia the largest country outside North America in Little League participation.
In the Little League World Series in 2013, a team from Perth, Western Australia qualified to represent Australia in its debut as a country. The team failed to win any of its three games at the LLWS. A year later another team from Perth would qualify and give the country their first win at the international tournament.
