The1915 AAA Championship Car season consisted of 27 races, beginning inSan Diego, California on January 9 and concluding inSan Francisco, California on November 25. The AAA did not award points towards a National Championship during the 1915 season and did not declare a National Champion.^[1]Ralph DePalma won theInternational 500 Mile Sweepstakes.

Earl Cooper was named thede facto National Champion by the American automobile journalMotor Age. Points were not awarded by theAAA Contest Board during the 1915 season. Cooper was named champion by Chris G. Sinsabaugh, an editor atMotor Age, based on merit and on-track performance. A points table wascreated retroactively in 1927. Historians later recognized that these championship results should be considered unofficial.
