The NAFC Championship (also known as the North American Nations Cup) was a football (soccer) tournament for teams in the area of North America between the years of 1947 and 1949. It was replaced with the CONCACAF Championship when the NAFC merged with the CCCF into the CONCACAF in 1961.

After 41 years of absence, the NAFC Championship was revived in 1990 and 1991 for the North American zone as the North American Nations Cup before the introduction of the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
