The West Region is one of eight United States regions that currently send teams to the Little League World Series, the largest youth baseball competition in the world. The region's participation in the LLWS dates back to 1957, when it was known as the West Region. However, when the LLWS was expanded in 2001 from eight teams (four U.S. teams and four "International" teams from the rest of the world) to 16 teams (eight U.S. and eight International), the Western Region was split into the Northwest and West Regions.
The West Region is made up of six districts in five states.
Wyoming was a member of the region from 2002–2006. During that time, Hawaii was in the Northwest Region. New Mexico was a part of the region in 2001, but was put in the Southwest Region the following year.
The list below lists each state's participant in the Little League West Region Tournament. That year's winner is indicated in green. The 2008 Waipahu, 2009 Chula Vista, and 2011 Ocean View teams went on to win the World Series.
In 2002, some Little League regions were realigned. This resulted in Wyoming joining the West Region, Hawaii moving to the Northwest Region, and New Mexico becoming part of the Southwest Region.
In 2006, Hawaii returned to compete in the West Region, while Wyoming was moved to the Northwest Region.
