U.S. Scrabble Champions Reference Guide

American Scrabble Tournaments

North American Scrabble Players Association (NASPA) is the organization that administers 100+ competitive Scrabble matches and tournaments each year in the United States and Canada.

The North American Scrabble Championship (NASC) is, by far, the largest NASPA-rated tournament in the U.S. with an average of 400+ players in attendance each year. For American and Canadian students in 3rd through 8th grade, the North American School Scrabble Championship is the go-to.

The yearly NASPA tournament schedule includes a host of other United States Scrabble tournaments that are scattered across the country in places like New Orleans, LA; Lake George, NY; Las Vegas, NV; and Boston, MA.

Close behind those in attendance to the NASC are tournaments currently scheduled in Georgetown, TX; Nashville, TN; Poughkeepsie, NY; and Atlanta, GA. There are many other smaller regional tournaments always happening as well.

Because of the breadth and depth of NASPA-rated tournaments, the present reference guide focuses on the winners and runners-up of the largest annual US Scrabble competitions: the NASC and North American School Scrabble Championship.

NASC Champions

The NASC was previously called the National Scrabble Championship, but it was renamed to the North American Scrabble Championship to recognize the longtime attendance of Canadian Scrabble players.

The tables in the following two sections outline all previous NASC Division 1 title winners. The tables are separated based on preferred word list: the NASPA Word List or the international Collins Scrabble Words.
