The Maine-Endwell Little League of Maine-Endwell, New York defeated the East Seoul Little League of Seoul, South Korea in the championship game by a 2–1 score. It was the first Little League World Series title for a team from the United States since 2011, and for the state of New York, the first since 1964.
Regional qualifying tournaments will be held between June and August 2016.

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.
This consolation game is played between the loser of the United States championship and the loser of the International championship.
