Can the Americans extend their winning streak at the event to a sixth, consecutive year?

That will be the story entering this year's tournament.

California leads the United States in LLWS titles with eight, proving to be a powerhouse dating back to its first victory in 1961.

The state does not have a representative in this year's tournament after Hawaii bested Southern California to advance and represent the West Region.

Hawaii is no stranger to excelling on the world's stage, though. The state has captured four LLWS titles in the last two decades, more than their West Region counterparts. They have typically thrived offensively and will need to produce runs if they hope to compete for the title.

Fans should pay attention to the Chinese Taipei squad out of the Asia-Pacific Region. The country, represented by Kuei-Shan Little League in 2024, has 17 LLWS titles, second only to the United States' 39.

The Kuei-Shan team was 5-1 in regional play and if they are anything like their predecessors, will likely play deep into the tournament.
