High School National Championship Tournament
The HSNCT is NAQT’s premier high school event. The tournament is held at the end of each school year and features the top quiz bowl teams from across the United States and, increasingly, the world.
Teams qualify for the HSNCT by their performance at regular-season tournaments using questions supplied by NAQT.
The 2023 HSNCT was held at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis and Hilton Atlanta on May 26–28. Barrington High School’s A team (Barrington, Illinois) was the champion out of 304 teams.
The 2024 HSNCT will be May 24–26 (Memorial Day weekend) at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis and Hilton Atlanta.
For the 2018 HSNCT, the 20th edition of the tournament, NAQT released 20for20, a series of 20 interviews with people with significant past and present roles in the HSNCT, in the 20 weeks leading up to the tournament.
