The 1996 Little League World Series was the 50th edition of the Little League Baseball World Series , an international baseball tournament for boys between the ages of 11 and 12. The game was played in South Williamsport .

For the team from Chinese Taipei this was one of the last appearances for a long time. In April 1997, Taiwan's national organizers announced that they were not sending any more teams to the Little League World Series because they believed the tournament was no longer compatible with national sports funding. Furthermore, they were no longer able to comply with the LLWS regulations. Only in 2003 was a team sent again.
