HHSAA State Football Championships

The Hawaii High School Athletic Association (HHSAA) State Football Championship consists of the two games that are played annually to crown the Division 1 and Division 2 state football champions in Hawaii.

As of 2016, the Hawaii High School Athletic Association board approved for a three-tier football state championship format, which will go into effect.

This all changed in 1973 when Bill Smithe of the Oahu Interscholastic Association (OIA) and Clay Benham of the Interscholastic League of Honolulu (ILH) struck a deal where the champions from each league met to decide who was the best team in the state.

The game was initially called the Oahu Bowl, marking the first time that league champions played each other in the postseason.

Though the bowl game did not include neighbor island champions, it was considered Hawaii's state championship.
