CONCACAF Gold Cup Champions and Runners-Up

The CONCACAF Gold Cup is the premier international football tournament in North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. Since its beginning in 1991, the competition has been held 16 times.

Mexico enters the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup as the defending champion, after their victory in the 2023 final against Panama. Santiago Gimenez scored a late goal to secure a 1-0 win for Mexico in the 2023 tournament.

The Gold Cup has primarily been dominated by Mexico and the United States, with other countries mainly competing for supporting roles. Canada is the only nation outside of these two football powerhouses to have won the Gold Cup, achieving this in 2000.

Teams with the Most CONCACAF Gold Cup Titles

Mexico has won the most CONCACAF Gold Cups, with a total of nine titles.

The United States is a close second, with seven titles and will be aiming to reduce Mexico`s lead in future tournaments.

Canada is the only other team to have lifted the trophy, winning it once in 2000.

CONCACAF Gold Cup Winners by Year

The United States won the first Gold Cup in 1991. Mexico then won the next three tournaments until Canada broke their streak in 2000, defeating Colombia, who was invited to participate.

Since 2000, the Gold Cup trophy has been consistently won by either the USA or Mexico, with no other country able to interrupt their dominance. Even strong guest teams like Brazil have been unsuccessful in challenging their hold on the competition.
