California was first split into Northern and Southern divisions in 1958. In all but three years since that time, both the Northern and Southern California champions have advanced to the West Region tournament, and have generally been the tournament powerhouses. California teams have won the West 36 times since 1957, including 14 titles by Northern California leagues.
Northern California's champion is currently decided in a divisional tournament that brings together the winners of six sectional tournaments. Northern California originally was divided into four sections, and grew to five in 1985 before expanding again to six in 1992. The structure of these sections has changed constantly over time, with various districts being grouped into different sections as the number of districts in the division has grown.
Additionally, the boundary between Northern and Southern California has changed several times over the years. At one point, leagues as far south as the San Fernando and San Gabriel Valleys competed in Northern California tournaments. Currently, Monterrey County is the southernmost area of the Northern California divisional structure along the coast, and the Bakersfield area is the southernmost point in the San Joaquin Valley. Leagues located south of these areas compete in the Southern California tournament.
The Northern California champions advance to the West Region tournament in San Bernardino, California. The West Region champion then advances to the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
California has sent more leagues (42) to the Little League World Series than any other state, and has produced six Little League World Series champions. The Campbell Moreland Little League won Northern California's only title in 1962.
