In Williamsport, Pennsylvania — where Little League began in 1939. The tournament is broadcast worldwide.
Little League International
The organisation in Williamsport sets the playing rules, manages the age limits and recognises the national organisations. What applies on our field comes from there.
Europe and Africa
The Netherlands falls under the Europe-Africa region. That region organises the qualifying tournaments and supports the national organisations.
