Mexico at the CONCACAF Gold Cup Mexico at North America's major tournament
Scene from the 2009 semi-final against Costa Rica . Mexico went on to win the tournament, and their eighth of eleven continental championships. The CONCACAF Gold Cup is North America's major tournament in senior men's soccer 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.
Mexico are the most successful team in the history of CONCACAF continental championships. They have won the most titles, with twelve (nine in the Gold Cup era), and hold various records. They hosted the tournament once, in 1977 , and were co-hosts with the United States in 1993 and 2003 . On all three occasions, Mexico won the title on home soil.
