Prior to 2000, the champions of Mexico and Puerto Rico received automatic bids to the World Series. From 2000 to 2003, both Mexico and Puerto Rico were part of the Latin America Region. Starting in 2004, the Mexico Region has an automatic berth in even-numbered years and the Puerto Rico Region in odd-numbered years. In the alternating years that each region does not have an automatic bid, that region's teams compete in the Latin America Region tournament.
