The 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup was the 18th edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the biennial international men's soccer championship of the North, Central American and Caribbean region organized by CONCACAF. Canada and the United States will host the tournament, which began on June 14, 2025.

The final was played on July 6, 2025, at NRG Stadium in Houston, where defending champion Mexico won its record-extending tenth title after defeating the United States 2–1.

The majority of the tournament's venues were in the Western United States to avoid scheduling conflicts with the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which was held at the same time primarily on the East Coast.

Venues

CONCACAF announced the 14 host venues for the 2025 Gold Cup on September 25, 2024. They included a mix of soccer-specific stadiums primarily occupied by Major League Soccer teams and larger American football stadiums. BC Place in Vancouver was the sole venue outside of the United States. The venues were mostly limited to the Western United States to avoid conflicts with the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup happening on the East Coast at the same time. CONCACAF announced that it had awarded the tournament final to NRG Stadium in Houston on October 30, 2024.

Teams

Qualification

For more details on this topic, see 2024–25 CONCACAF Nations League.

In February 2023, CONCACAF announced that the 2024–25 CONCACAF Nations League would serve as qualification for the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup. All 41 member associations of CONCACAF participated in the Nations League, which is divided into three tiers. The four quarterfinal winners of Nations League A and the four group winners of Nations League B qualified directly for the Gold Cup. A Gold Cup preliminary round will be held in March 2025 where seven additional teams will qualify for the main tournament. A total of 16 teams will compete in the main tournament.

On December 19, 2024, CONCACAF announced that Saudi Arabia would be invited as a guest team for the 2025 and 2027 tournaments. A potential expansion to 24 teams for the 2025 Gold Cup—with 16 CONCACAF teams and 8 invited guests—was previously reported by media outlets but did not materialize. It would have provided increased levels of competition for Mexico, Canada, and the United States, who would not play in the World Cup qualifying cycle due to their automatic qualification as hosts of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
