History

Below gives a brief summary of the regional finalist and champion teams to come out of the Boston region, along with the national championships. The College Fed Challenge has been around since 2004, with the Boston district holding the competition since 2006. Overall, the Boston district has more national championships than any other participating district at eight (Harvard five, Bentley one, Dartmouth one, and Yale one)!

Currently, the Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, and Chicago districts compete. Boston joined the competition in 2006, and Richmond began participating in 2010. In 2020, the competition was held virtually, and an at-large group was added for other district schools to participate outside of the five regular competing districts.
