Qualification
From the tournament's inception in 1991 until 2017, similar qualification processes were used. Spots in the Gold Cup were allocated to each of the sub-confederations: the North American Football Union (NAFU), the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), and the Central American Football Union (UNCAF). Typically the NAFU would receive three berths in the tournament, and the remaining berths were divided between CFU and UNCAF. Because the NAFU only has three members, each country (Canada, Mexico, United States) would qualify automatically. The CFU and UNCAF would use the results of the Caribbean Cup and Copa Centroamericana to determine its entrants to the Gold Cup.
From 1996 to 2005, some nations from outside the CONCACAF region received invitations to the Gold Cup and did not need to qualify. From 1998 to 2003 and again from 2015 to 2017, specific qualifying tournaments were held to determine the final one or two spots in the Gold Cup.[1]
Since 2019, no teams qualify automatically, and qualification is determined via the CONCACAF Nations League:
- The top two teams from each of the four League A groups qualify
- The winners of each of the four League B groups qualify
- The four winners of a two-round qualifier between the four third-place finishers in League A, the four second-place finishers in League B and the four first-place finishers in League C qualify
