Caribbean Cup
The Caribbean Cup, formerly known as the Copa Caribe, is the championship tournament for national association football teams that are members of the Caribbean Football Union. The first competition was contested in 1989 in Barbados. The Caribbean Cup also serves as a qualification tournament among CFU members for the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Trinidad and Tobago, eight-time winners, and Jamaica, five-time winners, are the most successful sides, having won a combined 13 of 15 titles. Martinique and Haiti have also won the tournament.
Over the years, the tournament was named after its respective sponsors: Shell and Umbro Interforever Caribbean Cup in 1999. In 2001 it was referred to as Caribbean Nations Cup, Digicel announced its four year sponsorship of the tournament in May 2004.
In 1990 on the day of the final, an insurrection in Trinidad and Tobago, the host nation, by the Jamaat al Muslimeen forced an abandonment of the tournament with only the final remaining. Also, the tournament was not held in 2000, 2002 and 2003.
