The United States Geography Championships is a nationwide competition to test the geography skills of American students and to help foster geography education throughout the United States. The competition aims to reward students who have devoted themselves to studying their world, and its countries and peoples, as a thorough knowledge of geography is essential to being an educated citizen today. The United States Geography Championships is the official qualifying competition for the International Geography Olympiad (aka iGeo), and by competing in it, Varsity Division students will have a chance to become members of the American team to attend iGeo.

Varsity and JV students can join one of the official exam locations held at sites across the country, or take the exam online. Students who take the exam are scored with top students from each region being invited to the National Competition hosted outside Washington DC each year. The Varsity winners of the national competition are then selected as official team members to represent the US at the International Geography Olympiad. Elementary and Middle School students can also compete in the USGC at Nationals by qualifying on the Geography ORQE exam.

Exams are evaluated based on the correct number of answers provided in the allotted time.
