The 2021 NAQT HSNCT was held on May 29–30. It was hosted virtually through Zoom, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Barrington High School won the tournament, winning both games of an advantaged final against University Lab. Detroit Country Day won a third-place match against TJHSST. Willian Groger was the top individual, scoring 100.00 PP20TUH in the preliminary rounds.

Due to the relatively smaller field of 224 (compared to previous years), there were only 8 prelim rounds instead of the usual 10.
