The '''Northern Florida Regional''' is a regional tournament hosted at the [http://ufl.edu University of Florida] in Gainesville, [[Florida]]. It serves the state's Leon, Wakulla, Jefferson, Madison, Taylor, Dixie, Hamilton, Lafayette, Suwannee, Columbia, Baker, Duval, Nassau, Clay, Alachua, Marion, Levy, Gilchrist, Union, and Bradford counties. The regional has been hosted for several years, starting at [https://www.fgc.edu Florida Gateway College] in Lake City, Florida before moving to the University of Florida for the [[2018]] season. While the tournament has always had a prominent number of Division B teams, it quite frequently had very few Division C teams or even none at all, in certain years. However, in the [[2019]] season, there was a significant rise in the number of Division C teams attending the regional, with 14 teams participating in that season. It has never held any trial events and has frequently not held a small, variable number of events.

The current Division B champion is the [[River City Science Academy]], which has remained the champion of the tournament since [[2016]]. At the state tournament, River City, does very well, and has qualified for the national tournament in [[2018]] and [[2019]]. The current Division C champion is [[James S. Rickards High School]], a school which has never won this tournament before.
