Haiti at the FIFA World Cup

This is a record of Haiti results at the FIFA World Cup. The FIFA World Cup, sometimes called the Football World Cup or the Soccer World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the men's national teams of the members of Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946, due to World War II.

The tournament consists of two parts, the qualification phase and the final phase (officially called the World Cup Finals). The qualification phase, which currently take place over the three years preceding the Finals, is used to determine which teams qualify for the Finals. The current format of the Finals involves 32 teams competing for the title, at venues within the host nation (or nations) over a period of about a month. The World Cup Finals is the most widely viewed sporting event in the world, with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the 2006 tournament final.^[1]

Haiti have appeared in the finals of the FIFA World Cup on one occasion in 1974.^[2]

Before Haiti ever qualified for a major soccer tournament, a Haitian player earned some notable World Cup glory. Joe Gaetjens, who has been playing for a New York-based club for several years at the time, represented the United States at the 1950 World Cup and scored the winning goal in a legendary 1-0 victory over England.
