In the final matches of the round-robin tournament, they were crowned champions after completing a clean and winning all of their matches by defeating Honduras 2–1. Background The Confederación Centroamericana y del Caribe de Fútbol (CCCF) was founded in 1938. Along with the North American Football Confederation (NAFC), it was a precursor organisation to the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF). Within three years of its founding, the CCCF organised a contest for its member associations.Stokkermans Karel CCCF and Concacaf Championships https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/cccf-concacaf.html RSSSF 24 April 2026 7 July 2025CONCACAF Gold Cup Competition http://www.goldcup.org/page/GoldCup/Competition CONCACAF 24 April 2026 https://web.archive.org/web/20120319163305/http://www.goldcup.org/page/GoldCup/Competition 19 March 2012 dead Costa Rica were the defending champions after regaining the trophy in 1953.

The following day El Salvador defeated Guatemala 3–2. On 16 August, Rodolfo Herrera scored a brace as Costa Rica defeated Cuba 6–0 and Curaçao defeated rivals Aruba 2–1. The following day, Arnoldo Enamorado scored a brace as Honduras defeated El Salvador 3–1. On 18 August, Guatemala recorded their first win of the competition as they defeated Curaçao 4–1. The following day, Costa Rica maintained their perfect start to the competition by defeating El Salvador 4–0 and Aruba earned their first win by defeating Cuba 5–1. On 20 August, Curaçao ended Honduras' unbeaten start after recording a 2–0 win against them. As a result, Costa Rica were top of the table on six points, two ahead of Curaçao and Honduras with almost half the fixtures completed. The following day, El Salvador defeated Cuba 2–1. The competition changed when, with Costa Rica leading 2–0 against Guatemala after 70 minutes, a fight broke out between players which subsequently led to the abandonment of the match. As a result, Guatemala withdrew from the competition and the CCCF organising committee decided to award each of Guatemala's scheduled fixtures to their opponents (Aruba, Cuba and Honduras). Having lost to Guatemala earlier in the competition, Curaçao protested the decision and the CCCF consulted FIFA to reach a resolution.Lugo Erik Francisco Mendoza Eduardo VII C.C.C.F. Championship 1955 - Match Details https://www.rsssf.org/tablesc/cccf55det.html RSSSF 24 April 2026 8 January 2023 Meanwhile, on 22 August, Honduras and Aruba drew 1–1. Two days later, Costa Rica maintained their flawless record with a 2–1 win against Curaçao and El Salvador defeated Aruba 2–0. With only three matches overall left to be played, Costa Rica were mathematically assured of finishing top of the table. However, on 25 August, the organising committee decided, as a result of their consultation with FIFA, to annul all of Guatemala's results. With Curaçao's defeat to Guatemala no longer counting towards the outcome of the competition, they could now catch Costa Rica and finish level on points with them. On 26 August, Curaçao defeated El Salvador 3–0 to leave them two points behind Costa Rica with one match left to play. The final matches were played on 28 August and a Manuel Sosa own goal gave Costa Rica a 2–1 win against Honduras to claim the title. Curaçao defeated Cuba 2–0 to finish as runners-up.
