Beginning with the 2001 international tournament, Little League Baseball expanded the Little League World Series to a sixteen team field, and doubled number of U.S. entrants at the World Series from four to eight. As a result, the Eastern Region tournament was replaced by a pair of smaller tournaments that involved state champions from the region. Eastern Region state champions were assigned to New England and Mid-Atlantic regions, with winners from both competitions advances to the Little League World Series. (Subsequent expansion of the Little League World Series led to the creation of a third region, the Metro Region, that draws its participants from Eastern Region states.)
When the Mid-Atlantic and New England Region tournaments were first held in 2001, both tournaments were played in Bristol, with the region's state champions divided into the new tournament fields as follows:
| New England Region | Mid-Atlantic Region |
|
Connecticut Maine Massachusetts New Hampshire Rhode Island Vermont |
Delaware District of Columbia Maryland New Jersey New York Pennsylvania |
Today, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island compete in the Metro Region tournament, which was created in 2022.

The Eastern Region Tournament, which was first held in 1957, was originally a four-team, single-elimination event. Initially, the tournament was held in a variety of Eastern cities, with Staten Island, New York, serving as the tournament host six times. The tournament eventually expanded to a twelve-team format, and after moving to the Town of Newburgh LL Complex in Newburgh, New York in 1977, eventually settled in Bristol.
