The 1969 CONCACAF Championship was the fourth edition of the CONCACAF Championship, the football championship of North America, Central America and the Caribbean (CONCACAF). The tournament was held between 23 November to 8 December. Six teams participated in the tournament playing in the round-robin format to determine the winner. A late application by Haiti was rejected.[1]
The event was hosted by Costa Rica in the city of San José. The tournament was won by the host nation, for the second time after 1963, by tying defending champions Guatemala 1–1 in the deciding final match. Mexico used players from a second-level league.[2]
