The 2015 AMA Grand National Championship was the 62nd season since the series inception as a championship, and the first season featuring the new GNC1 unified division after the 2006 split in Twins and Singles. Neverthless, riders still had to switch between twin cylinder motorcycles with purpose-built frames for Mile and Half-mile races, and production-based single cylinder bikes for Short Track and TT events. Jared Mees won his third overall title riding the Harley-Davidson XR-750 twin and the Honda CRF450R single. Former Pro divisions were reorganized as the new GNC2 feeder class; Davis Fisher won his first national title riding a Kawasaki-powered twin and the Honda CRF450R single.

Rule changes

 * Former Expert Twins and Expert Singles divisions are merged in the new GNC1 class; only the overall title is awarded
 * Former Pro Singles and Pro Twins divisions are merged in the new GNC2 class

GNC1 rider standings
Points are awarded to riders on the following basis:
 * One (1) championship point is awarded to the best qualified rider, as determined by the Dash for Cash session.
 * One (1) championship point is awarded to the rider that leads the most laps in the main event. In the event of a tie for most laps led, the last rider in the lead position will be awarded the point.
 * Ties are broken by number of wins, followed by number of 2nds, 3rds, etc. If a tie remains, the best finish in the last race will determine the champion.
