What does the winner of the CONCACAF Gold Cup get?

The CONCACAF Gold Cup is the most prestigious international tournament for North American, Central American, and Caribbean teams.

Here, you'll learn all about what's at stake in the competition beyond bragging rights.

The base includes an engraving with the year and the winning team.

CONCACAF Gold Cup prize money

Prize money is not officially announced, but in 2021, Sports Illustrated reported that the winner received $1 million, while the runner-up received $500,000.

That's far below the reported $33 million given to the winner of the European Championship, and it's less than what teams reportedly receive for winning the Copa America ($6.5 million), Asian Cup ($5 million), or African Cup of Nations ($4.5 million).
