The 1975 Little League World Series took place between August 20 and August 23 in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The Lakewood Little League of Lakewood, New Jersey, defeated the Belmont Heights Little League of Tampa, Florida, in the championship game of the 29th Little League World Series. Only three games were played in the tournament, consisting of two semi-final games and the championship game, as the third-place game was forfeited.
In the 1970s, "whispers about overage Asian participants grew to shouts" when over a three-year stretch Taiwan outscored U.S. teams, 120–2, in a span of nine Little League World Series games. Then LLWS chairman Peter McGovern reluctantly agreed to a blanket ban of all international teams. After an uproar of criticism and an investigation that could produce no evidence of rules violations,[1] the ban was rescinded for the event.[2] The next LLWS tournament held without international teams was the edition, played during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.
