The CONCACAF Gold Cup is North America's major tournament in senior men's football and determines the continental champion.
In earlier editions, the continental championship was held in different countries, but since the inception of the Gold Cup in 1991, the United States are constant hosts or co-hosts.
[1][2] Since the inaugural tournament in 1963,[3] the Gold Cup was held 27 times and has been won by seven different nations, most often by Mexico (12 titles).
In 2019 however, they reached the knockout stage after earning a 1–0 victory over Honduras[6][7] and drawing 1–1 against Jamaica[8][9] with a stunning injury time equalizer by Juriën Gaari.
[10] Of the other CONCACAF members that used to be part of the Netherlands Antilles (Aruba, Bonaire and Sint Maarten), none have qualified for a Gold Cup as of August 2024.
