The Academy of Country Music (ACM) Triple Crown Award is one of the highest honors in country music, recognizing exceptional artists who have reached three major milestones in their careers. This rare achievement is given only to those who have won awards in all three of the following categories: New Artist of the Year, Male/Female Artist (or Vocal Duo/Group) of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year.
Since its introduction, only eleven acts in country music history have earned this elite title. Each winner has demonstrated not only talent but also staying power, with achievements that span the early stages of their careers to the pinnacle of success.
Below is a full list of ACM Triple Crown Award winners, their qualifying award years, and the year they were officially honored.
