The United States were the defending champions, having won the 2017 tournament. With the abolition of the FIFA Confederations Cup, the CONCACAF Cup was annulled and the Gold Cup did not qualify the winner to a major tournament for the first time since 2009.
In February 2018, CONCACAF announced that the tournament would expand to 16 teams from 12.[1][2]
Mexico won their eighth Gold Cup title (their eleventh CONCACAF championship) with their 1–0 victory over the United States in the final, at Soldier Field in Chicago.[3]
In May 2018, CONCACAF confirmed that matches would be held in Central America and the Caribbean in addition to the United States.[1][2][4] This was the first time that the Gold Cup was held in the Caribbean, with all previous matches having taken place in the United States, Mexico, or Canada.
In May 2018, CONCACAF announced the fifteen venues in the United States which would host matches.[5] Soldier Field in Chicago was announced on September 27, 2018, as the venue of the final.[6]
