With the Concacaf showpiece taking place this summer, Goal rounds up all the details that you need to know about the tournament

The 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup will be the 15th edition of the tournament, the biennial international men’s football championship of the North, Central American, and Caribbean region overseen by Concacaf.

This summer’s edition will be held in the United States, with Costa Rica and Jamaica aso hosting two games in the first round of matches in Groups B and C.

It began on June 15  with the group stages and will conclude on  July 7 , with games played across 17 different venues in 16 host cities.

The winner of the Concacaf Gold Cup will play against the United States, who are defending champions of the 2017 edition, in the 2019 Concacaf Cup – a one-match play-off fixture to decide the qualifying country to participate in the 2021 Confederations Cup. In the event that the USMNT win the 2019 Gold Cup, they will automatically qualify for the Confederations Cup as 2017 and 2019 champions.

Here is everything you need to know ahead of this summer’s tournament.

Who are past winners of the Concacaf Gold Cup?


The United States heads into the tournament as the defending champion, two years after beating Jamaica 2-1 in the final.

Mexico was the winner of the 2015 edition when El Tri also beat Jamaica in the final, this time in a 3-1 victory, and will be favorites for this year’s edition. El Tri are the most successful team in the tournament’s history, picking up a record seven titles from 1993 to 2014, and were third-place finishers in 2017.

Canada is a one-time winner of the Concacaf Gold Cup, winning the tournament in 2000 – and these three countries are the only nations to have ever won a Concacaf Gold Cup.

Panama has finished a runner-up twice, in 2005 and 2013, alongside Jamaica and Brazil , while the likes of Honduras , Costa Rica and Colombia have all made the final on one occasion each.
