The 1975 Little League World Series took place between August 20 and August 23 in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The Lakewood Little League of Lakewood, New Jersey defeated the Belmont Heights Little League of Tampa, Florida in the championship game of the 29th Little League World Series.
This was the only LLWS in which Little League banned all non-US clubs from the tournament due to allegations of cheating by the Taiwanese team.[1] After an uproar of criticism and an investigation that could produce no evidence of rules violations,[2] this ban would be rescinded the following year.
