The 2015 Little League World Series was held in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania from August 21 until August 30, 2015. Eight teams from the United States and eight from throughout the world competed in the 69th edition of the tournament. The Tokyo Kitasuna Little League from Tokyo, Japan defeated Red Land Little League of Lewisberry, Pennsylvania in the championship game, 18–11 - the most total runs scored in any final game (29). It was Japan's fourth title in the past six years. The tournament was originally scheduled to begin on August 20, however, inclement weather resulted in the postponement of all first day games, moving all of the games to Friday, which resulted in eight games being played on that day, a World Series first.
The draw to determine the opening round pairings took place on June 10, 2015.
Teams that lose their first two games get to play a crossover game against a team from the other side of the bracket that also lost its first two games. These games are labeled Game A and Game B.
The third place game is played between the loser of the United States championship and the loser of the International championship.
The Kitasuna LL reached the LLWS with an undefeated record of eight wins and no losses. In total, their record was 13-0
