USA Gymnastics - Most National Titles
Prior to the formation of USA Gymnastics, the national governing body for the sport, gymnasts competed for the AAU. Please refer to the following notes when classifying the champion:
- Prior to 1963 - All recognized as AAU champions
- 1963 – 1970 - Noted as either AAU or USA Gymnastics champions
- 1971 – present - All recognized as USA Gymnastics national champions
From 1963-70, separate AAU and USA Gymnastics champions were recognized so two champions may be listed for the same year.
