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.
In terms of total points earned, Trinidad and Tobago are the second-most successful Caribbean nation in the history of CONCACAF continental championships after Haiti, but unlike them have never actually won a title.
Steve David scored seven goals during the 1973 CONCACAF Championship, which made him sole top scorer of the tournament.
He is still Trinidad and Tobago's leading scorer at continental championships and the only Trinidadian to date to win an individual award.
