This article describes the quizbowl team at the University of Florida. For high school quizbowl in the state of Florida, see NAQT Florida State Championship.

The University of Florida has long had one of the stronger teams in the country, with first scorers such as Chris Borglum in the early 90s, Raj Dhuwalia a decade later, and Taylor Harvey in the present era. Currently the undisputed best team in the state of Florida, a team of Taylor Harvey, Tracy Mirkin, Jonathen Settle, and Leo Law finished in 5th place at the 2021 DI ICT and won 2021 ACF Nationals.

Writing

Several Florida writers contributed to the inaugural Spring Undergraduate Novice tournament in 2017. Taylor Harvey head edited Florida Spring Tournament in 2018 and 2019. The 2019 version received critical acclaim for excellent difficulty control and an interesting expanded distribution. In the spring of 2020, several members of the Florida team contributed to another edition of SUN.

In the fall of 2020, the Florida team led the writing of the Nats-minus set Florida Open, also known as FLopen, which was received positively by the community.

Following the post-Nationals departure of Taylor Harvey and Jonathen Settle, Leah Honsinger and Graham Cope have joined Tracy Mirkin and Leo Law as official members of UF's A team.
