The 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup will be the 15th edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the biennial international men's football championship of the North, Central American, and Caribbean region organized by CONCACAF. The tournament will primarily be hosted in the United States, with Costa Rica and Jamaica also hosting double-headers in the first round of matches in groups B and C, respectively.
The United States are the defending champions, having won the 2017 tournament. With the abolition of the FIFA Confederations Cup, the Gold Cup will not qualify the winner to a major tournament for the first time since 2005.
In February 2018, CONCACAF announced that the tournament would expand to 16 teams from 12.[1][2]
Qualified teams
The qualification system has been changed and no longer divided into Central American and Caribbean zones. Among the 16 teams, six qualify directly after participating in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying Hexagonal, while the other 10 teams qualify through the 2019–20 CONCACAF Nations League qualifying.[3]
Bermuda and Guyana will be making their Gold Cup debuts.
