The centre meridian or longitude of North America is 99.9961° W

How did I get this? I realized North America spans a wide range of longitudes, from Alaska's west coast, to the most easterly point of Canada (Labrador).

If we ask what is the geographical "centre," then we get a place not far from Rugby, North Dakota, USA. Those coordinates are: 48.3672° N, 99.9961° W.
