The annual competition is co-sponsored by Pi Alpha Xi National and the American Floral Endowment, a foundation established to finance research and education in the floral industry

Numbers in the body of this table are the placings of each team among all teams participating each year. Single asterisks (*) next to numbers indicate that the two teams so marked were tied.

Schools are ranked in descending order from most frequent to least frequent team participation.

The annual competition has been co-sponsored by Pi Alpha Xi National Honor Society and the Society of American Florists since its inception. SAF sponsorship evolved to sponsorship through the Society of American Florists Foundation and ultimately the American Floral Endowment, which is not affiliated with SAF.The earliest competitions were held in conjunction with the National Flower Show sponsored by the Society of American Florists. The first contest was held in Toronto in 1938. Universities with chapters of Pi Alpha Xi near contest site would serve as hosts. Starting in 1955 and continuing to the present the competition has been held on the host university's campus. Tours of floral industry enterprises "local" to the host university acquaint participating students and faculty with the variety of opportunities existing for students in the floral industry.
