The Junior League Softball World Series is a softball tournament for girls aged between 12 and 14. The tournament is administered by Little League Baseball, Inc. and is held annually in the Seattle suburb of Kirkland, Washington.

Tournament format

The tournament started in 1999, and is a true "World Series" since ten regions from around the world send in teams: The ten teams are divided into two pools of five members each. The top 4 teams from each pool then advance to the quarter-finals (Pool A 1st vs Pool B 4th, Pool B 2nd vs Pool A 3rd, etc). The winners of each quarter final face off in the semi-finals. The semi-final winners play for the championship. All matches are single-elimination games. The losers of the quarter-final games, and the bottom team in each pool, play in friendship games. The losers of the semi-final games play each other in a consolation final. All pool play and bracket games are streamed on ESPN+. Friendship games are not streamed.
