LLWS records and news accounts may use Republic of China, Taiwan, or Chinese Taipei to refer to the same entity. South Korea, or Japan to be champion. However, it was discovered upon further review that the Filipino team violated age and residency rules and Little League Baseball stripped them of their title. Long Beach was awarded a 6–0 victory by forfeit as per Little League rules and became only the fourth American team in 20 years to become Little League champions. The championship game did not feature a team from Taiwan for the first time since 1985. This tied the record of six consecutive finals set by Taiwan from 1977 through 1982. To date, this record has not been seriously approached by one country or state. This was the first edition of the tournament to feature night games, as lights had been added to Howard J. Lamade Stadium following the prior year's tournament.https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=G7wjAAAAIBAJ&sjid=rNAFAAAAIBAJ&pg=5394%2C784828 Moscow-Pullman Daily News Idaho-Washington Associated Press Little Leaguers are set to play under the lights August 24, 1992 1C Far East series Between 1967, when Japan's West Tokyo won, and 1992, the Little League World Series was won 19 of a possible 25 times by the Far East champion.

The new format had each team play the other three teams in their bracket, and then having the top two teams play each other in the semifinal, with the winners advancing to the championship. Zamboanga City defeated the teams from Germany and Quebec before losing to the Dominican Republic, in the round-robin. This was enough to get them into the international final, a rematch with the Dominican Republic, which they won 5–1.http://www.littleleague.org/series/history/year/1992.htm 1992 Little League Baseball World Series 2006-07-28 https://web.archive.org/web/20130712094524/http://www.littleleague.org/series/history/year/1992.htm 2013-07-12 dead The championship game against California was a blowout, with Zamboanga City winning 15–4 after a seven-run first inning.http://www.littleleague.org/series/history/scores/1992line.htm 1992 Line Scores 2006-07-28 https://web.archive.org/web/20060604052541/http://www.littleleague.org/series/history/scores/1992line.htm 2006-06-04 dead The team was hailed as heroes in the Philippines, President Ramos giving the team a gift of 1,000,000 pesos to contribute to the livelihood of their families.https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/soc.culture.filipino/5M6YFg0eZ0U Google Groups groups.google.com Long Beach head coach Jeff Burroughs remarked that semi-final pitcher "Roberto Placious" had the poise of a high school or college pitcher.https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/soc.culture.filipino/i_c7cVRp4wQ Google Groups groups.google.com Teams United States International Illinois South Holland, IllinoisCentral RegionSouth Holland Little League CAN Quebec Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, QuebecCanada RegionValleyfield Little League New Jersey Hamilton Square, New JerseyEast RegionNottingham Little League GER Kaiserslautern, GermanyEurope RegionKaiserslautern Little League Louisiana Lake Charles, LouisianaSouth RegionSouth Lake Charles Little League PHL 1986 Zamboanga City, PhilippinesFar East RegionZamboanga City Little League California Long Beach, CaliforniaWest RegionLong Beach Little League DOM civil Santo Domingo, Dominican RepublicLatin America RegionEpy Guerrero Little League Pool play +United States Rank State Record 1 California California 3–0 2 New Jersey New Jersey 2–1 3 Louisiana Louisiana 1–2 4 Illinois Illinois 0–3 +International Rank Country Record 1 Dominican Republic civil Dominican Republic 3–0 2 Philippines 1986 Philippines 2–1 3 Canada Canada 1–2 4 Germany Germany 0–3 PoolAwayScoreHomeScore August 24USCalifornia California10Illinois Illinois6INTDominican Republic civil Dominican Republic29Canada Canada0INTGermany Germany2Philippines 1986 Philippines14USLouisiana Louisiana0New Jersey New Jersey5 August 25INTDominican Republic civil Dominican Republic24 (F/4)Germany Germany0USCalifornia California6New Jersey New Jersey4USIllinois Illinois2 Louisiana Louisiana3 (F/8)INTCanada Canada0Philippines 1986 Philippines2 August 26USNew Jersey New Jersey5Illinois Illinois2INTCanada Canada10Germany Germany3INTPhilippines 1986 Philippines1Dominican Republic civil Dominican Republic8USCalifornia California16Louisiana Louisiana1 Elimination round August 27 Philippines 1986 Philippines 5 Dominican Republic civil Dominican Republic 1 August 27 California California 1 New Jersey New Jersey 0 August 29 Forfeit: see more Philippines 1986 Philippines 0 California California 6 1992 Little League World Series Champions100px|border|United States100px|border|CaliforniaLong Beach Little LeagueLong Beach, California The Zamboanga City Little League team was disqualified for fielding ineligible players, forfeiting the final to Long Beach.
