Thirteen MONOPOLY US Championships have been held with a US representative selected in August 2015 through an online quiz and essay competition to compete at the 2015 World Championship.[1]
The US players with the most national victories are Dana Terman and Gary Peters, each the winner of two US Championships. Only two US players have won the World Championship, and each of those was before true international competition existed at the World Championship level. No American has won the World Championship since 1974, although Rick Marinaccio placed 3rd at the 2009 World Championship.

Dana Terman and Gary Peters are the only US players to win back-to-back titles. This likely is more difficult to achieve because the championships no longer occur on an annual basis, but closer to every six years at this point.
★ Brian was selected as the 2015 US representative through an online quiz and essay competition, not through a in-person tournament as all of the past US champions have been determined.
