Four teams qualify for the New Jersey state tournament, including two teams from Northern Jersey, one from Central Jersey, and one from South Jersey. In recent years, the tournament has used either a double-elimination format or a round-robin schedule that is followed by a winner-take-all championship game.
Since 2022, New Jersey's champion has advanced to the Metro Region tournament, with the Metro Region winner advancing to the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. From 2001 through 2021, the New Jersey champion advanced to the Mid-Atlantic Region tournament, and prior to 2001, to the Eastern Region tournament.
Twenty New Jersey teams have participated in the World Series. Four New Jersey teams -- Hammonton Little League in 1949, Wayne American Little League in 1970, Lakewood Little League in 1975, and most recently Toms River East American Little League in 1998 -- have won the Little League World Series.
