The North American Debating Championship is the premier parliamentary debating championship in North America, sanctioned by the national university debating associations in the United States and Canada, the American Parliamentary Debating Association and the Canadian University Society for Intercollegiate Debate. It has been held on an alternating basis between the USA and Canada since 1991. The North American Public Speaking Championship is held at the same event, in parallel with the debating competition.
