Little League World Series in Mexico


Mexico participated in the Little League World Series as part of the Latin America Region from 1957 to 2000. In 2001, when the LLWS expanded to sixteen teams, the Mexico Region was created, so that each year the Mexico Little League championship team has an automatic berth in the World Series. The country currently has about 450 active leagues, making it the third-largest country in Little League participation.
Mexican teams have won three championships and been runner-up three times.
In the 1985 World Series, the Mexicali Little League represented the West Region of the United States. Because of its proximity to the El Centro/Calexico area in Southern California, Mexicali competed in and represented California's District 22 in the Southern California division, won the West Region tournament, eventually became the United States champion, and was runner-up to the International champion. After the 1985 Series, Mexicali was shifted from California leagues to Mexico leagues.
