Brazil 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. 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. Currently, CONCACAF's representative team at the FIFA Confederations Cup is decided by a play-off between the winners of the last two tournament editions.

Since the inaugural tournament in 1963, the Gold Cup was held 24 times and has been won by seven different nations, most often by Mexico (10 titles).

From 1996 to 2005, teams from other confederations have regularly joined the tournament as invitees. During this time span, Brazil participated three times: In 1996, 1998 and 2003. They reached the tournament final twice, but lost to Mexico on both occasions. Thanks to their good results they rank 12th out of 27 nations in the tournaments all-time table in spite of only three participations - right ahead of Cuba, who participated ten times.
