Background
History
National Cheerleading Championship started as a one-day invitational cheerleading championship in 2006. It started with two divisions, College and High School divisions, composed of ten teams and, was held in Araneta Coliseum. The inaugural event was judged by invited American judges, such as Joe Jackson of the Cheerleaders of America (COA),[3] as well with known Filipino names in Philippine cheerleading.[4]
In 2008, twenty nine teams from all over the country participated in the competition securing its title as the only national cheerleading competition in the Philippines.
By 2009, it first held regional qualifiers among three key cities in the Philippines. By 2010, with eighty five squads joining the qualifiers, the regional qualifiers was expanded to six; divisions were also expanded to six. In 2011, the divisions were expanded more to eight, and the National Dance Championship was inaugurated with 23 teams participating.[4]
In 2018, the NCC saw more than 200 teams participate in the Nationals and also in 2018 NCC Philippines now allows teams competing from international teams from China for the first time.

Seasons
Cheerleading
The inaugural event started in 2006 at Araneta Coliseum with 10 participating teams (5 College and 5 High School Teams) and as of 2018 Season, more than 10 division competitions has been established and the poms competition will soon be added as new division for Cheer competitions.
Since 2018, most teams competed are from well-known schools (especially College Level 6 Divisions) have at-least tried to compete at the National Finals. The NCC Cheerleading Competition held every mid-to-late March, since some schools are off-season, some schools can't compete at the National Finals due to conflict schedules (such as in case for schools competing at NCAA Cheerleading Competition), as well as a short time for teams to prepare for ICU Worlds in April (in case of National University in 2015 ICU worlds but managed to compete at NCC Finals and ICU World Finals that year.)
Today, before you can enter and compete at NCC Finals, the team must Qualify thru NCC Regional Qualifiers in different areas of the country depending on the location and proximity of the competing team/school. For example: Teams that are based in NCR must compete first in NCC NCR Qualifiers (except Open Coed/All-Girl Elite Divisions) before going to compete at National Finals.
Here are the list of Regional Qualifiers for NCC National Finals as of 2018-2019 Season:
| Regional Finals | Date | Location | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Luzon | NCR | late-January/late-February | SM Mall of Asia, Music Hall / Market-Market Activity Center (2019) |
| North Luzon | early-August | Baguio Convention Center, Baguio City | |
| Central Luzon | mid-October | SM Clark, Pampanga | |
| South Luzon | mid to late October | Robinson's Las Pinas | |
| Bicol | late-October | ICR Arena, Legazpi | |
| Visayas | Cebu | mid-November | SM Seaside, Cebu |
| Mindanao | Davao | early-January | Rizal Memorial Colleges |
Here are the list of winners in each seasons since inaugural year in 2006, noted as more teams competed starting 2009 and broaden the competition in 2011. Poms division started in Season 13 (2017) and more divisions will be added soon as cheerleading is being developed in the Philippines.
