The CONCACAF Gold Cup is North America's major tournament in senior men's soccer and determines the continental champion.
From 1996 to 2005, nations from other confederations have regularly joined the tournament as invitees.
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.
From September 2018 to March 2019, Guyana played in a tournament to determine the ten teams to go to the 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup, and in the last matchday qualified for the Gold Cup for the first time.
