The USA Gymnastics National Championships is the annual artistic gymnastics national competition held in the United States for elite-level competition. It is organized by USA Gymnastics, the governing body for gymnastics in the United States. The national championships have been held annually since 1963. The event is currently named P&G Gymnastics Championships after sponsor Procter & Gamble.〔("P&G Gymnastics Championships" ). pgchamps.com.
