The Concacaf Gold Cup stands as one of the premier international tournaments for national teams across North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. Since its creation in 1963, the competition has delivered some incredible match results — the kind rarely seen in modern soccer.

From Mexico’s dominant performances to the rise of nations like Panama and Costa Rica, the Gold Cup has served as a stage where teams either cement their legacy or endure heavy defeats that remain etched in memory.

Mexico, the tournament’s most successful team with 12 titles, also holds the record for the highest-scoring match in Gold Cup history with a 9–0 victory over Martinique.

But the list of dominant wins also includes traditional rivals like the United States and Canada, and perhaps surprisingly, Honduras, who have also posted some of the competition’s most lopsided results. Let’s take a closer look at the greatest victories and worst defeats in the history of this storied tournament.
