Qualification for the 2022 Little League World Series took place in ten United States regions and ten international regions from February through August 2022. International regions will gain entry to the tournament after the 2021 tournament consisted of only teams from the United States as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic .[ 1]
This is the first year that 20 teams will qualify for the Little League World Series. In the United States, two new regions were created (Metro and Mountain) made up of states being pulled from already existing regions. On the international side, a rotational schedule consisting of Cuba, Panama, and Puerto Rico will begin. Two teams from the three countries will automatically qualify for the LLWS, while the third may still qualify through its normal regional tournament. In 2022, the two teams qualifying automatically are Panama and Puerto Rico. Cuba will compete in the Caribbean Region tournament in 2022 but will directly qualify in 2023 and 2024.[ 2]
The tournament took place in Whitestown, Indiana from August 6–11.[ 3]
