The Little League World Series is divided into two brackets: the United States bracket and the international bracket. Each bracket will conduct its own individual tournament, and the winner from each bracket will face off in the championship.
The U.S. and international brackets are double-elimination brackets. This means that a team can still advance in a separate elimination bracket even after losing its first game. The winner of the elimination bracket then plays against the winner of the winners' bracket in the U.S. or international final for the opportunity to compete in the LLWS championship.
In other words, a team must lose twice to be eliminated from the tournament.
This year, the grand prize awarded to the Little League World Series winner is a Musco Little League Lighting System for a 200' field. Musco Sports Lighting has been the official lighting system for Little League Baseball and Softball since 1992.
In recent years, teams from the United States have been very successful in the Little League World Series, winning the last five championships since 2017. The most recent international team to win the tournament was Japan, who defeated Lufkin, Texas 12-2 in the 2017 final, which lasted just five innings.
