The 2002 CONCACAF Gold Cup was the sixth edition of the Gold Cup, the soccer championship of North and Central America (CONCACAF).
The tournament was once again held in the United States, in Miami and Pasadena. The format of the tournament stayed the same as in 2000: twelve teams were split into four groups of three. The top two teams in each group would advance to the quarterfinals. Ecuador and South Korea were invited.
Canada, who rode the coin toss all the way to winning the 2000 cup, needed luck once again, as all games in Group D ended with a 2-0 result. Lots were drawn, with Canada and Haiti moving on to the next round; Ecuador did not. But the Canadian luck ran dry in the semifinals, as the Costa Rica in the final and topped them 2-0 behind goals by Josh Wolff and Cuban players Alberto Delgado and Cuba to the United States.
The CONCACAF Women’s tournament (25 February – 5 March 2004) will feature two groups of four teams with Canada, Jamaica, Panama and Costa Rica in Group A, while Group B is composed of Haiti, Mexico, Trinidad & Tobago and the USA.
