Peru at the CONCACAF Gold Cup

This is a record of the Peru national football team's results at the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

History

Peru was invited to join the CONCACAF Gold Cup tournament along with Colombia and South Korea.[1] Positioned in Group B of the tournament, Peru started out with a 1–1 tie with Haiti, and a 1–0 loss to the United States.[1] This was enough for Peru to advance and face Honduras, which had ended first in their group.[1] Peru won this quarter-finals match with a 5–3 result.[2] In the semi-finals, Peruvian defenders made a series of mistakes, including an own goal, and the only goal of Peru against Colombia came from Roberto Palacios; Colombia defeated Peru 2–1.[3] Peru placed fourth in the North American competition based on cumulative result.[4]
