Hamilton West Side Little League was based in Hamilton, Ohio, during the 2026 Little League World Series.
Hamilton West Side represented the Great Lakes region in the United States bracket. The team was one of 10 American regional champions competing in the 20-team tournament in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Hamilton is a city in southwestern Ohio, located in Butler County between Cincinnati and Dayton. The team’s appearance was especially notable because Hamilton West Side became the first Ohio representative to reach the championship game, where it faced Nevada in the U.S. championship.
The city name can be confused with the league’s regional designation: Hamilton is the hometown, while Great Lakes is the Little League region. The 2026 tournament ultimately sent Nevada to the world championship game against Curaçao.
