In August 2025, Fairfield, Connecticut, earned a spot in the Little League Baseball World Series' U.S. bracket championship game versus Nevada. The team joins a rich legacy of baseball success in the region. The Constitution State has made 21 appearances at the Little League Baseball World Series, taking home four LLBWS championships (tied for the second-most titles in the U.S. with Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Hawaii).
Connecticut's previous LLBWS titles include:
Stamford, 1951 (def. Austin, Texas, 3-0)
Norwalk National, 1952 (def. Monongahela, Pennsylvania, 4-3)
Windsor Locks, 1965 (def. Stoney Creek, Canada, 3-1)
Trumbull, 1989 (def. Kaohsuing, Taiwan, 5-2)
Although Connecticut doesn't have a professional baseball team, it does have a storied history of championships at the collegiate level. Yale, UConn and Quinnipiac have won Division I titles in different sports.
