Saint Vincent and the Grenadines at the CONCACAF Gold Cup
# Saint Vincent and the Grenadines at the CONCACAF Gold Cup

The CONCACAF Gold Cup is North America's major tournament in senior men's football and determines the continental champion. Until 1989, the tournament was known as CONCACAF Championship. It is currently held every two years. From 1996 to 2005, nations from other confederations have regularly joined the tournament as invitees. In earlier editions, the continental championship was held in different countries, but since the inception of the Gold Cup in 1991, the United States are constant hosts or co-hosts.

From 1973 to 1989, the tournament doubled as the confederation's World Cup qualification. CONCACAF's representative team at the FIFA Confederations Cup was decided by a play-off between the winners of the last two tournament editions in 2015 via the CONCACAF Cup, but was then discontinued along with the Confederations Cup.

Since the inaugural tournament in 1963, the Gold Cup was held 27 times and has been won by seven different nations, most often by Mexico (12 titles).

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines became a full FIFA member in 1988, but entered the qualification process for a continental championship for the first time in 1993. They for a lone Gold Cup in 1996. Out of the 31 nations which have participated at Gold Cups or its preceding tournaments, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are one of only two sides which have yet to score a goal.
