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 scorer, followed by Will McCurley and Karsten Rynearson.

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