The
National Catholic Forensic League (NCFL) is a speech and debate league that was formed in 1951. It is organized into regions which correspond to
Roman Catholic dioceses. Member schools include both public and parochial high schools. The NCFL recruits member schools in both the
United States and
Canada. As of January, 2011, there were 65 active dioceses with NCFL leagues. The IRS recognizes the NCFL as an organization eligible to receive tax-deductible charitable donations.
