Smithtown West is a public high school located in Smithtown, Suffolk County, New York. The team regularly plays the Long Island circuit and is a competitor in Long Island's [[Regional Quiz Bowl]] league. The team has seen a recent resurgence in activity. In the 2015-2016 season, nine tournaments were played and they finally got their own QBWiki page. They also qualified for the HSNCT, NSC, and NAC in that year.

Their peak came in the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 seasons, where they repeatedly finished very highly at regular-season tournaments and in the RQB finals, including 5th at [[UDFT]] III, 3rd in the 2015 RQB finals, a tournament victory at [[KPAQT]] in 2016, 5th at the 2016 [[VCU Season Finale]], and 5th in the 2016 RQB finals. During the 2015-2016 season, they were the local foils for a very strong [[East Brunswick]] team that finished t-13th at that year's HSNCT, defeating them repeatedly; had a four-year-long rivalry with [[Port Jefferson]] that ended with a comeback victory by West at [[KPAQT]]; and scored constant upset victories, particularly on NAQT sets.

Smithtown West is a public high school located in Smithtown, Suffolk County, New York. The team played the Long Island circuit and Regional Quiz Bowl. The team saw a resurgence in activity in the mid to late 2010s, before slowly collapsing over the course of the succeeding decade; the team's golden age was from 2013 to 2017. Their peak came in the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 seasons, where they repeatedly finished very highly at regular-season tournaments and in the RQB finals, including 5th at UDFT III, 3rd in the 2015 RQB finals, a tournament victory at KPAQT in 2016, 5th at the 2016 VCU Season Finale, and 5th in the 2016 RQB finals. During the 2015-2016 season, they were the local foils for a very strong East Brunswick team that finished t-13th at that year's HSNCT, defeating them repeatedly; had a four-year-long rivalry with Port Jefferson that ended with a comeback victory by West at KPAQT; and scored constant upset victories, particularly on NAQT sets.

Smithtown was also a yearly competitor in MSG Varsity's The Challenge until the cancellation of the show.

The team hosted SWISS in September 2016. Afterwards, West entered a long and slow decline, finally folding in 2025 into an all-Smithtown team with Smithtown East after alumnus Joe Feldman's offer to replace the retiring coach was declined.
