An NAQT state championship in Virginia was established in 2000 to complement the VHSL Scholastic Bowl championship. While Scholastic Bowl is generally considered a well-run event on fair questions, the NAQT tournament provided the only opportunity for schools from different VHSL enrollment divisions and non-VHSL members to compete in one field for a single overall title.

The tournament has been run under various names from year to year. It was originally dubbed the "Commonwealth of Virginia High School Academic Championship" and a large travelling trophy was ordered with this name, though both the name and the trophy were almost immediately lost.

Only in the 2000 tournament was a separate JV state championship held. The B team from Thomas Jefferson won it, collecting the only JV state title ever awarded in Virginia.

In 2006 and 2007, a separate division was run for "small schools" as defined by the tournament hosts (grade 10-12 enrollment under 750 -- official NAQT cutoff is 500). The small school title was awarded again in 2019 to the highest-finishing small school in the overall field.

The tournament was notorious for ending with Thomas Jefferson's A team being upset by its own B team and excluded from the final, which happened four times between 2004 and 2013.

After being severely underpromoted in 2018 and 2019, the tournament was not a priority for running online during the COVID-19 outbreak and has not operated since. Whether it will return in the future is uncertain.
