 '''Championship of Champions XV''' ran from 2 to 22 January 2019 just before the start of [[Series 80]], with [[FOCAL]] innovator [[Zarte Siempre]] emerging victorious and becoming the first [[grand slam winner]] of ''[[Countdown]]'' since [[Richard Whiteley]]'s passing.
-The tournament was announced in the summer of 2018, with the draw being announced on the [[c4countdown]] forum and [[Apterous]] on 18 July 2018. Filming of the episodes took place from 1 to 3 October 2018. It featured sixteen [[contestant]]s – including fourteen [[octochamp]]s, six of whom were [[series winners]] – this time drawn from [[Series 73]] through [[Series 78|78]]. Similar to [[Championship of Champions XIV]], contestants from the most recent series, [[Series 79]], were not invited and instead qualified for [[Championship of Champions XVI]].

Similar to [[Championship of Champions XIV]], contestants from the latest series, [[Series 79]], were not invited and instead qualified for [[Championship of Champions XVI]].
-The draw proved to be interesting in that four of the six series winners played against each other in the first round, unlike the previous [[Championship of Champions|CoC]] where all but two of the six series winners were kept apart at that stage. [[Paul Erdunast]] and Zarte Siempre – the two contestants in this tournament with the highest aggregate scores across their eleven wins in their respective series (1,273 and 1,331 respectively) – went head-to-head in the first round, with the latter just edging it {{score|113|105}} after an unsolved crucial [[conundrum]], the solution to which is no longer valid due to an amendment made to the now-defunct {{w|Lexico}} dictionary. The conundrums for this tournament were of very high difficulty.

-From then on, Siempre asserted his authority in the rest of the tournament; he made history by setting the then highest ever score in the history of ''Countdown'' with a score of [[Episode 6991|150]] to [[Tom Carey]]'s 122, in which Siempre missed Carey's {{word|TIRAMISUS}} to be denied a [[max game|maximum score]] of 168. The match also saw Siempre and Carey break the record for the highest combined score in a televised game of ''Countdown'' with a total of 272. Siempre's 150 was eventually beaten four months later by [[Elliott Mellor]], who scored [[Episode 7077|152]] in his second heat game in May 2019. In the [[Episode 6992|first semi-final]], [[Philip Aston]] was beaten by Siempre for the third time, marking the first time in ''Countdown'' history that a contestant had lost to the same opponent thrice. In the [[Episode 6994|grand final]], Siempre avoided a crucial conundrum for the third consecutive time in the tournament with victory over [[Bradley Horrocks]], in which Siempre spotted that the conundrum {{word|OOHSONUMB}} became {{word|BONHOMOUS}} – a clip of this solve can be seen on ''TV's Greatest Game Shows'' on {{w|Challenge (TV channel)|Challenge}} [https://youtu.be/jZubEXT5dlk?t=3651], in which Siempre was credited for his appearance on the programme. Siempre never fell behind in any of his four victories in this tournament, and averaged 121.25 points per game.
