2022 CONCACAF W Championship |
The CONCACAF W Championship (previously known as the CONCACAF Women's Championship, CONCACAF Women's Invitational Tournament, CONCACAF Women's Gold Cup and CONCACAF Women's World Cup Qualifying) is a football competition organized by CONCACAF that often serves as the qualifying competition to the Women's World Cup, and recently the Olympics.[2][3] In years when the tournament has been held outside the World Cup qualifying cycle, non-CONCACAF members have been invited.

The most successful country has been the United States, winning their eighth title in 2018.[4]
