CONCACAF Gold Cup winners: Full list of champions & runners up

The CONCACAF Gold Cup is the primary international football competition that covers the regions of North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. So far, 16 editions of the tournament have been played since the inaugural edition in 1991.

Mexico will be hoping to defend their status as reigning champions at the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup, which will be held from June 14 to July 6. A late winner from substitute Santiago Gimenez helped the Mexicans clinch a 1-0 victory over Panama in the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup final.

The CONCACAF Gold Cup has largely been a tug-of-war between the United States and Mexico, with most other nations left playing supporting roles as the two heavyweights trade blows for regional supremacy. As of yet, Canada remains the only side outside that dominant duo to lift the trophy, having done so back in 2000.

Who has won the most CONCACAF Gold Cups?

Mexico holds the record for most CONCACAF Gold Cup triumphs, having won the tournament nine times.

However, the United States of America aren't that far off, having won the competition seven times and will be hoping to close the gap.

The only other team to win the CONCACAF Gold Cup is Canada, whose sole triumph came in 2000.

List of CONCACAF Gold Cup winners

The United States of America were the inaugural champion in 1991, however, the next three iterations were won by Mexico, until their streak was broken by Canada in 2000, who overcame guest nation Colombia.

Since then, the trophy has alternated between the USA and Mexico, with no other nation able to break their dominance. Even strong guest countries such as Brazil have been unable to pry the trophy away from the hands of these two nations.
