NOTE: This tournament was played April 4-6, 2015. It determined France's representative in the 2016 Europe-Africa Region tournament, with the winning team able to choose between continuing play in the Little League Baseball or Intermediate divisions and the runner-up eligible to participate in the other division in 2016.
NOTE: France's national tournament was called the "Interligues" tournament through 2018, was rebranded as "Little League" in 2019, and adopted full use of standard Little League tournament rules beginning in 2020. Prior to 2015, Interligues tournaments had been held between 2005 and 2009.
NOTE: With a densely-packed schedule of games and a limited number of available fields, France's tournament employs a strict 90-minute time limit in which games needed to be completed. As a result, many games conclude prior to a regulation six innings of play.
