(Redirected from List of quartet champions by year)

This article lists the Barbershop Harmony Society's international quartet champions by the year in which they won. Quartets can win only once, though up to two members may appear together in another quartet and compete again. In this manner individual singers may win multiple gold medals. Twenty men have won two or more gold medals. Five men have won three or more. One man, Joe Connelly, has won four, and another, Tony DeRosa, has won five.

Connelly sang with champion quartets Interstate Rivals (1987), Keepsake (1992), PLATINUM (2000), and Old School (2011); and DeRosa with Keepsake (1992), PLATINUM (2000), Max Q (2007), Main Street (2017), and Three And A Half Men (2024). Connelly was the first to achieve both the 3- and 4-time International Quartet Champion milestone, and DeRosa followed by doing so in multiple voice parts. Gary Lewis has won three times on three different parts with PLATINUM (2000, tenor), Max Q (2007, baritone), and Quorum (2022, bass).

Though the competition is international, only two quartets from outside North America have so far won the gold medal: Ringmasters from Sweden in 2012 and Musical Island Boys from New Zealand in 2014. The Town and Country Four were the first quartet to win internationally as the contest was held in Canada for the first time in 1963. Disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in cancellation of the 2020 and 2021 international contests, the only years in the society's 86-year history without one.
