Originally called the National Little League Tournament, it was later renamed for the World Series in Major League Baseball . The Series was first held 71 years ago in 1947 and is held every August in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania . (Although the postal address of the organization is in Williamsport, the Series itself is played at Howard J. Lamade Stadium and Volunteer Stadium at the Little League headquarters complex in South Williamsport .) </P> <P> Initially, only teams from the United States competed in the Series, but it has since become a worldwide tournament . The tournament has gained popular renown, especially in the United States, where games from the Series and even from regional tournaments are broadcast on ESPN . The United States collectively as a country has won majority of the series, although from 1969 to 1991 teams from Taiwan dominated the series, winning in 15 out of those 23 years . Taiwan's dominance during those years has been attributed to a national effort to combat its perceived diplomatic isolation around the world . From 2010 to the present, teams from Tokyo, Japan, have similarly dominated the series, winning five of the last nine matchups . </P>
