The final day of Pool Play delivered at the 2025 Australian Little League Championships.

When the day started, only Manly had locked up a top-two spot in their group and a place in the semi-finals. Only four teams had been mathematically eliminated.

That left seven teams fighting for just three spots.

We recapped the day as it happened – including all the scenarios – in the story below.

Have fun, try to follow along, and enjoy how this dramatic final day concluded.

A team of 12-year-olds is about to become one of Australia’s most watched teams.

The winner of June’s Australian Little League Championship earns a spot at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. It’s one of the biggest sporting events on the planet.

Let’s compare to enhance this point.

Round 12 of the National Rugby League season (NRL) had an average viewership or 571,000 people per game. State of Origin had 3.755 million people tune in. The average NRL attendance this season is 20,922.

The average Little League World Series game viewership totals 917,000. Last year’s Championship game saw 5,496,000 viewers on ESPN. In 2024, 372,600 fans piled in the ballpark at Williamsport over 11 days – an average of of over 30,000 fans per day.

Yes, we understand that comparing the US sports market to the Australian sports market is unfair. But there’s still something cool about saying the starting pitcher of the Hills NSW Little League Charter (the 2024 champion) played in front of more people than Blues captain Isaah Yeo at the State of Origin.

Sunday night baseball on ESPN averages 1,719,000 viewer per game with the likes of Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani taking centre stage. The pointy end of the Little League tournament exceeds that figure by four million.

One team from this tournament will represent Australia at this year’s event. That’s what’s on the line for the twelve Australian teams who have qualified locally for Australian Little League Championships in Blacktown this June.

Here’s what you need to know about this year’s tournament:

All fields in Lismore & Surfers Paradise have been deemed unplayable for Sunday 1 June after more rain fall overnight.

The final day of the 2025 Intermediate League and Junior League Championships has been called off.

What we know so far:

– Event officials have been inspecting the grounds since 6:00AM and have been trying to work on solutions;

– However, the fields have been ruled unsafe and will not be ready to complete any games today;

– Gold Coast was hit with 48mm of rain over the last 48 hours. Lismore has endured another 18mm of rain on Friday with more forecast today;

– We are working with Little League International on options, what this means going forward and how to crown a national champion;

– We will provide you with information as it comes to hand;

– Baseball Australia will conduct a full internal review of the tournament structure;

We appreciate patience as we work through a difficult situation.

We are gutted for the kids, coaches, families, and supporters who spend so much time preparing for an event and just want to play baseball games at a national championship. We thank you all for being the biggest cheerleaders and support for your kids and community.

There will be more updates to come over the coming days when we have more clarity.

—

We would like to thank Far North Coast Baseball for your ongoing support in hosting national and state championships at your great facility. It’s one of the best in the country.

Their love of baseball shows in all the hard work they do and is even more evident by being the only association or club to put in to host these two events.

We would also like to thank the great people at Surfers Paradise Baseball Club for stepping up and hosting game on short notice so we could navigate some early weather, and Mudgeeraba for being on standby.
