Little League Southeast region) •

International regions The international regions differ in the Intermediate, Junior, Senior, and Big League divisions.
Intermediate League regions Unlike the
Little League World Series, the
Intermediate League World Series has (1) only ten regions and (2) a host team. There are two pools: Pool A (U.S. regional champions and the host team) and Pool B (international regional champions). The Intermediate League has five international regions: •
Puerto Rico •
Latin America (Little League Caribbean, Latin America, and Mexico regions combined, except that Puerto Rico is not included in the Caribbean Region) •
Canada •
Asia-Pacific •
Europe-Africa Junior League regions Unlike the
Little League World Series, the
Junior League World Series has only eleven regions, whose champions are divided into the United States Pool and the International Pool. The Junior League has six international regions: •
Mexico / Puerto Rico (automatic berth in even and odd years, respectively) (region unique to Big League and Junior League) •
Latin America (Little League Caribbean and Latin America regions combined, except that only Mexico or Puerto Rico is included in odd and even years, respectively) •

Senior League regions Unlike the Little League World Series, the

a South Carolina district, starting in 2017; from
Maine District 3 through 2016), and (3) the regional champions (plus the host team) are divided into two
mixed pools (Group A and Group B) that combine U.S. and international regions. Because of the mixed pools, the Senior League division does not have an international champion and a United States champion — unlike the other three baseball divisions of Little League Baseball. The Senior League has only four international regions: •

Canada (same as Little League Canada region) •

South Carolina District 1), which played in the U.S. pool. The Big League had five international regions: •
