The CONCACAF Cup is an association football (soccer) competition to determine CONCACAF's entry into the FIFA Confederations Cup. Under previous guidelines, as the CONCACAF Gold Cup takes place on a biennial basis, only the winner of the tournament before the Confederations Cup qualified for the competition. This, in turn, lowered the prestige of the alternating tournament, with big teams fielding weaker sides. In case of the same team winning both Gold Cups before the same Confederations Cup, no CONCACAF Cup match will take place.[1]

The competition was announced on 5 April 2013, the inaugural edition took place in 2015.[2]

In November 2016, CONCACAF announced that the television rights for the 2019 edition have been sold to Fox Sports.[3]
