Connecticut established ten districts in 1958, and added an eleventh in 1959. Those eleven districts remain intact today. In early years, the district champions played off in a single-elimination tournament held at locations throughout the state. For a brief timespan in the late 1980s and early 1990s, two Connecticut leagues advanced to the region tournament, but since 1993, the state has held two sectional tournaments, with the winner of a playoff between the two sectional champions advances to regional competition.
The Connecticut state champion advances to the New England Region Tournament, which is held each August in Bristol in the central part of the state. The winner of the region tournament advances to the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Fifteen Connecticut leagues have advanced to the Little League World Series, including four which won the championship. Stamford and Norwalk National won back-to-back titles in 1951 and 1952, while Windsor Locks (1965) and Trumbull National (1989) defeated international leagues in the championship game. Trumbull's victory over the Kang Tu Little League (Kao Hsuing, Taiwan) remains one of the most famous upsets in Little League World Series history.
