Vermont held their first state tournament, for Division C only, at Castleton University in the 2018 season.

In past years, Vermont has not hosted any tournaments, and has never sent a team to the national tournament. By National Science Olympiad rules, teams in a state without an organization can compete in any nearby state willing to invite them. In the past, both New Hampshire and Maine have had a standing open invitation to Vermont schools wanting to participate in Science Olympiad. A small number of teams in Vermont have participated in the past.

History

Past State Champions

Although Vermont did not hold any tournaments until 2018, New Hampshire awarded the highest-placed team from Vermont that competed in New Hampshire with the "Best Vermont Team" award. The recipient of this award is shown in the below table.
