The CONCACAF Championship was an association football tournament that took place between 1963 and 1989. The competition was referred to as CONCACAF Campeonato de Naciones in Spanish.
The predecessor confederations organized their national team tournaments NAFC Championship and CCCF Championships until 1961 before the merged to form CONCACAF.
The first Championship took place in 1963 and was CONCACAF's first organized tournament for national teams. The competition retained its tournament format and was played on a biennial basis for a decade.
In 1973 the tournament became the qualifying tournament for the FIFA World Cup and was played on a quadrennial basis. The CONCACAF trophy was given to the team that ranked highest in the qualifying group. In 1985 and 1989, there was no host nation for the competition.
The competition was discontinued in 1991 in favor of the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
