A national championship is an event purporting to award a title to the best [[quizbowl]] team in a particular country. Over the years a number of national championships have been held for college, high school, and middle school levels of play, with widely varying formats and question quality.

== History of national level play ==
 
Don Reid developed the [[College Bowl]] format for American university students after success with a similar program for American GIs during WWII. By the 1990's, for a variety of reasons, College Bowl's popularity began to diminish. The Academic Competition Federation was established in 1991 and held an alternate national championship out of dissatisfaction over the CBI's handling of quiz bowl.
 
 
 
Corporate sponsorship has also led to formation of several national championship tournaments.

*<nowiki>*</nowiki>While the Top Community College has continued to be recognized at ICT since the launch of the CCCT in 2009, NAQT's website says the ICT team is "not considered a national champion" by NAQT.
 
 
 
*<nowiki>‡</nowiki>A sequel to CULT, [[COLT]], was run as [[Chicago Open Trash]] in 2011, but was not billed as a national championship.
 
 
 
*<nowiki>§</nowiki>In 2013, NHBB offered both a middle school division at the high school Bowl and a separate middle school Bowl, held at distinct times on distinct questions, and open to participation in either or both tournaments by a given school. Both tournaments named middle school national champions in 2013.
