The National Geography Bee (NGB) is a pyramidal buzzer-based competition where participants answer questions about geography. Founded by David Madden's International Academic Competitions (IAC) in 2017, the NGB is held alongside various other events, including the National History Bee and Bowl, at IAC's National Championships. Prior to the 2023-24 academic year, the competition was known as the International Geography Bee (IGB).
